As though with slow cold hammers
Beating out word by word:
"Take love when love is given,

A sure escape from sorrow
Or a

Only yourself can lead you
Up the hard road to heaven

]
Thou of an
independent
mind,
With soul resolv'd, with soul resign'd;
Prepar'd Power's proudest frown to brave,
Who wilt not be, nor have a slave;
Virtue alone who dost revere,
Thy own reproach alone dost fear,
Approach this shrine, and worship here.

Pushkin - Daughter of the Commandant |

IV
Like music heard in dreams,
Like strains of harps unknown,
Of birds forever flown
Audible as the voice of streams
That murmur in some leafy dell,
I hear thy
gentlest
tone,
And Silence cometh with her spell
Like that which on my tongue doth dwell,
When tremulous in dreams I tell
My love to thee alone!

Goethe - Erotica Romana |

Her face was on the ground--
None saw the agony;
But the men at sea did that night agree
They heard a
drowning
cry:
And when the morning brake,
Fast rolled the river's tide,
With the green trees waving overhead
And a white corse laid beside.

Then by slow degrees
The sword of iron succeeded, and the shape
Of brazen sickle into scorn was turned:
With iron to cleave the soil of earth they 'gan,
And the
contentions
of uncertain war
Were rendered equal.
