lirik lagu john michael macdonald - edgar allan poe - an enigma
“seldom we find,” says solomon don dunce
“half an idea in the profoundest sonnet
through all the flimsy things we see at once
as easily as through a naples bonnet—
trash of all trash!—how can a lady don it?
yet heavier far than your petrarchan stuff~
owl~downy nonsense that the faintest puff
twirls into trunk~paper the while you con it.”
and, veritably, sol is right enough
the general tuckermanities are arrant
bubbles—ephemeral and so transparent—
but this is, now,—you may depend upon it—
stable, opaque, immortal—all by dint
of the dear names that lie concealed within ‘t
because i feel that, in the heavens above
the angels, whispering to one another
can find, among their burning terms of love
none so devotional as that of “mother,”
therefore by that dear name i long have called you—
you who are more than mother unto me
and fill my heart of hearts, where death installed you
in setting my virginia’s spirit free
my mother—my own mother, who died early
was but the mother of myself; but you
are mother to the one i loved so dearly
and thus are dearer than the mother i knew
by that infinity with which my wife
was dearer to my soul than its soul~life
