I cannot quite forget - ZaunköniG - 06.01.2013 I cannot quite forget Mortality is on me like the sleep Of one who dreams on banks of pleasant flowers. I hear the humming of gold-girdled hours Whirling along the sunshine, feel the deep and shadowy stillness into which they creep, Dropping like honeyed bees into their bowers. Such gracious dreams brings this long sleep of ours, Such gracious dreams I know not how to weep. The world I have forsaken for my dream. A strange and lingering sweetness haunts me yet, A visionary presence, and a light Creeps 'twixt my eyelidd, like the slender beam Piercing the filmy primrose, folded tight, And wrapped in sleep, I cannot all forget. |
