lirik lagu ghizela rowe - edith wharton - an autumn sunset

Loading...

leaguered in fire
the wild black promontories of the coast extend
their savage silhouettes;
the sun in universal carnage sets
and, halting higher
the motionless storm~clouds mass their sullen threats
like an advancing mob in sword~points penned
that, balked, yet stands at bay
mid~zenith hangs the fascinated day
in wind~l~strated hollows crystalline
a wan valkyrie whose wide pinions shine
across the ensanguined ruins of the fray
and in her hand swings high o’еrhead
above the wastеr of war
the silver torch~light of the evening star
wherewith to search the faces of the dead

lagooned in gold
seem not those jetty promontories rather
the outposts of some ancient land forlorn
uncomforted of morn
where old oblivions gather
the melancholy unconsoling fold
of all things that go utterly to death
and mix no more, no more
with life’s perpetually awakening breath?
shall time not ferry me to such a shore
over such sailless seas
to walk with hope’s slain importunities
in miserable marriage? nay, shall not
all things be there forgot
save the sea’s golden barrier and the black
close~crouching promontories?
dead to all shames, forgotten of all glories
shall i not wander there, a shadow’s shade
a spectre self~destroyed
so purged of all remembrance and sucked back
into the primal void
that should we on the shore phantasmal meet
i should not know the coming of your feet?
