SINGING BIRDS. - ZaunköniG - 05.05.2009 SINGING BIRDS. Sweet is thy voice, embowered Nightingale ; But for thy praise would fail my weaker song ; Sweet all thine airy kindred, that belong To Nature's happiest haunts, by field or vale: And some there are, that in the shadows pale Of cavernous dim towns, make yearn the throng; Prisoners are they, and blind, yet seems more strong The melody of their lives' remembered tale. Ye are the accepted poets ; wheresoe'er Your notes have sounded, joy hath thither come ; As flowers to forest wells serene and clear : Fame wears ye not, that eats the hearts of some; Those unambitious accents man doth hear, And straight the importunate voice of self is dumb. |
