A PHOTOGRAPH ON THE RED GOLD - ZaunköniG - 31.12.2010 A PHOTOGRAPH ON THE RED GOLD. Jersey, 1867. About the knoll the airs blew fresh and brisk, And, musing as I sat, I held my watch Upon my open palm ; its smooth bright disk Was uppermost, and so it came to catch, And dwarf, the figure of a waving tree, Back'd by the West. A tiny sunshine peep'd About a tiny elm,—and both were steep'd In royal metal, flaming ruddily : How lovely was that vision to behold ! How passing sweet that fairy miniature, That stream'd and flicker'd o'er the burning gold ! God of small things and great ! do Thou ensure Thy gift of sight, till all my days are told. Bless all its bliss, and keep its pleasures pure ! |
