A NIGHT-CHARGE AGAINST A SWAN BY A LOVER - ZaunköniG - 01.01.2011 A NIGHT-CHARGE AGAINST A SWAN BY A LOVER The swan, wild-clanging, scoured the midnight lake. And broke my dream of Annie, and I lay, Through those brief hours before the dawn of day. Chiding the sound that startled me awake. Ungracious bird, why didst thou come between My loving cjuestion and her dear reply ? I saw her parted lip, her downcast eye, I saw how sweet her answer would have been, Hadst thou not cried just then in love's despite ! For once, I pray, thy clamorous zeal forbear, And grant this easy boon to me and her : I claim my perfect dream : be mute to-night : Thy voice kept Annie silent : I foresee Thy silence will be Annie's voice to me. |
