THE PARADOX - ZaunköniG - 10.08.2014 THE PARADOX AH, had I know the sorrow and unrest, The wild desires and vain imaginings, The wished-for good no morrow ever brings, The days of dolor and the nights unblest; Yea, had I known how from my life the zest Should vanish as the dwindled water-springs; How hope, grown hopeless, with dishevelled wings Low trailing, should surcease her futile quest — I would have loved thee still, because I must; For in thy voice I hear the prescient call Of homing birds borne down the wintry gust, With breath of hyacinthine buds, and all The music of clear streams, while ev'n the dust Breaks into bloom where'er thy light feet fall. |
