What as a gurgling softly
simmered
through
The soil, within the dead deserted brake,
--And no more than a drop of fragrant dew
That fell from flowerlet unto deepest lake:
Becomes the clinging mist that cleaves the heights,
And which in darkest midnights as a beam
The heart of the chasm suddenly be-smites
To spring and ramble like a ruddy stream.

Hearing a little child sing in the street:
I leant upon his music as a theme,
Till it gave way beneath my heart's full beat
Which tried at an exultant prophecy
But dropped before the measure was complete--
Alas, for songs and hearts!

Thou wilt not stay; with restless feet
Pursuing
still thine onward flight,
Thou goest as one in haste to meet
Her sole desire, her head's delight.

Although the clouded storm dismays Many a heart upon these waters, The thought of that far golden blaze Giveth me heart upon the waters,
Thinking
thereof my bark is led
To port wherein no storm I dread; No tempest maketh me afraid.

And our dear love lose name of single one,
That by this

That due to thee which thou deserv'st alone.

Do not forget these asters that remain,
The scarlet leafage round the
tendrils
twining,
And all the rests of verdant life combining,
Resolve them in the soft autumnal vein.

Stefan George - Selections from His Works and Others |

O cities memories of cities
cities draped with our desires
cities early and late
cities strong cities intimate
stripped of all their makers
their thinkers their phantoms
Landscape ruled by emerald
live living ever-living
the wheat of the sky on our earth
nourishes my voice I dream and cry
I laugh and dream between the flames
between the
clusters
of sunlight
And over my body your body extends
the layer of its clear mirror.

Then soul, live thou upon thy servant's loss,
And let that pine to
aggravate
thy store;
Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross;
Within be fed, without be rich no more:
So shall thou feed on Death, that feeds on men,
And Death once dead, there's no more dying then.

THE LENT LILY
'Tis spring; come out to ramble
The hilly brakes around,
For under thorn and bramble
About the hollow ground
The
primroses
are found.
