lirik lagu ghizela rowe - a november night by sara teasdale
there! see the line of lights
a chain of stars down either side the street —
why can’t you lift the chain and give it to me
a necklace for my throat? i’d twist it round
and you could play with it. you smile at me
as though i were a little dreamy child
behind whose eyes the fairies live. . . . and see
the people on the street look up at us
all envious. we are a king and queen
our royal carriage is a motor bus
we watch our subjects with a haughty joy. . .
how still you are! have you been hard at work
and are you tired to~night? it is so long
since i have seen you — four wholе days, i think
my heart is crowded full of foolish thoughts
like еarly flowers in an april meadow
and i must give them to you, all of them
before they fade. the people i have met
the play i saw, the trivial, shifting things
that loom too big or shrink too little, shadows
that hurry, gesturing along a wall
haunting or gay — and yet they all grow real
and take their proper size here in my heart
when you have seen them. . . . there’s the plaza now
a lake of light! to~night it almost seems
that all the lights are gathered in your eyes
drawn somehow toward you. see the open park
lying below us with a million lamps
scattered in wise disorder like the stars
we look down on them as god must look down
on constellations floating under him
tangled in clouds. . . . come, then, and let us walk
since we have reached the park. it is our garden
all black and blossomless this winter night
but we bring april with us, you and i;
we set the whole world on the trail of spring
i think that every path we ever took
has marked our footprints in mysterious fire
delicate gold that only fairies see
when they wake up at dawn in hollow tree~trunks
and come out on the drowsy park, they look
along the empty paths and say, “oh, here
they went, and here, and here, and here! come, see
here is their bench, take hands and let us dance
about it in a windy ring and make
a circle round it only they can cross
when they come back again!” . . . look at the lake —
do you remember how we watched the swans
that night in late october while they slept?
swans must have stately dreams, i think. but now
the lake bears only thin reflected lights
that shake a little. how i long to take
one from the cold black water — new~made gold
to give you in your hand! and see, and see
there is a star, deep in the lake, a star!
oh, dimmer than a pearl — if you stoop down
your hand could almost reach it up to me. . .
there was a new frail yellow moon to~night —
i wish you could have had it for a cup
with stars like dew to fill it to the brim. . .
how cold it is! even the lights are cold;
they have put shawls of fog around them, see!
what if the air should grow so dimly white
that we would lose our way along the paths
made new by walls of moving mist receding
the more we follow. . . . what a silver night!
that was our bench the time you said to me
the long new poem — but how different now
how eerie with the curtain of the fog
making it strange to all the friendly trees!
there is no wind, and yet great curving scrolls
carve themselves, ever changing, in the mist
walk on a little, let me stand here watching
to see you, too, grown strange to me and far. . .
i used to wonder how the park would be
if one night we could have it all alone —
no lovers with close arm~encircled waists
to whisper and break in upon our dreams
and now we have it! every wish comes true!
we are alone now in a fleecy world;
even the stars have gone. we two alone!
