lirik lagu from retrospection - ghizela rowe - charlotte bronte
we wove a web in childhood
a web of sunny air;
we dug a spring in infancy
of water pure and fair;
we sowed in youth a mustard seed
we cut an almond rod;
we are now grown up to riper age~
are they withered in the sod?
are they blighted, failed and faded
are they mouldered back to clay?
for life is darkly shaded;
and its joys fleet fast away
faded! the web is still of air
but how its folds are spread
and from its tints of crimson clear
how deep a glow is shed
the light of an italian sky
where clouds of sunset lingering lie
is not more ruby~red
but the spring was under a mossy stone
its jet may gush no more
hark! sceptic bid thy doubts be gone
is that a feeble roar
rushing around thee? lo! the tide
of waves where armed fleets may ride
sinking and swelling, frowns and smiles
an ocean with a thousand isles
and scare a glimpse of shore
the mustard~seed in distant land
bends down a mighty tree
the dry unbudding almond~wand
has touched eternity
there came a second miracle
such as on aaron’s sceptre fell
and sapless grew like life from heath
bud, bloom and fruit in mingling wreath
all twined the shrivelled off~shoot round
as flowers lie on the lone grave~mound
dream that stole o’er us in the time
when life was in its vernal clime
dream that still faster o’er us steals
as the wild star of spring declining
the advent of that day reveals
that glows in sirius fiery shining:
oh! as thou swellest, and as the scenes
cover this cold world’s darkest features
stronger each change my spirit weans
to bow before thy god~like creatures
when i sat ‘neath a strange roof~tree
with nought i knew or loved round me
oh how my heart shrank back to thee
then i felt how fast thy ties had bound me
