ICHABOD - ZaunköniG - 10.08.2014 ICHABOD THE glory is departed — imminent night Wraps her dusk vans about the mountains gray, Where late the smouldering embers of the day Glowed with a solemn and foreboding light : Thus summer's pageant dies upon the sight; Thus autumn's tragic flush dissolves away; Thus the dear dreams we fain would keep for aye Are startled into unreturning flight. O maimed and stricken life! — the lyric bloom And dewy freshness — shall these never be Thy portion more? Drowned in the midnight gloom, Shalt ne'er again some radiant vision see? Courage! behind the sullen peaks of doom, Somewhere God's kindling splendor dawns for thee. |
