Clear as its current, glide the sauntering hours
With a calm languor, which, though to the eye

It hath no flatterers; vanity can give
No hollow aid; alone--man with his God must strive:

Or Ephesus, or Corinth, set between
Two seas, or Thebes, or Delphi, for its king

The daily burden of unending song,
And search for wreaths the olive's rifled bower;
The praise of Juno sounds from many a tongue,
Telling of Argos' steeds, Mycenaes's gold.

I try to sleep, but still my eyelids beat
Against the image of the tower that bore
Me high aloft, as if thru heaven's door
I watched the world from God's
unshaken
seat.

Whom Mentor, after all his airy vaunts
Hath left, and at the portal now remain
Themselves
alone.

The brown tint of his glowing cheek still rough;
Fruit quickly ripe,
'Neath foreign suns in
scorching

Stefan George - Selections from His Works and Others |

He whom thou, Melpomene,
Hast
welcomed
with thy smile, in life arriving,
Ne'er by boxer's skill shall be
Renown'd abroad, for Isthmian mastery striving;
Him shall never fiery steed
Draw in Achaean car a conqueror seated;
Him shall never martial deed
Show, crown'd with bay, after proud kings defeated,
Climbing Capitolian steep:
But the cool streams that make green Tibur flourish,
And the tangled forest deep,
On soft Aeolian airs his fame shall nourish.

" My leader part pursu'd
His way, the while I follow'd,
answering
him,
And adding thus: "Within that cave I deem,
Whereon so fixedly I held my ken,
There is a spirit dwells, one of my blood,
Wailing the crime that costs him now so dear.
