THE ARTIST ON PENMAENMAWR - ZaunköniG - 31.12.2010
THE ARTIST ON PENMAENMAWR.
That first September day was blue and warm,
Flushing the shaly flanks of Penmaenmawr ;
While youths and maidens, in the lucid calm
Exulting, bathed or bask'd from hour to hour ;
What colour-passion did the artist feel !
While evermore the jarring trains went by,
Now, as for evermore, in fancy's eye,
Smutch'd with the cruel fires of Abergele ; '
Then fell the dark o'er the great crags and downs,
And all the night-struck mountain seem'd to say,
' Farewell ! these happy skies, this peerless day !
And these fair seas—and, fairer still than they.
The white-arm'd girls in dark blue bathing-gowns,
Among the snowy gulls and summer spray.'
