Robert Louis Stevenson - Sonnet II

2014-11-07 10 Dailymotion

So shall this book wax like unto a well, <br />Fairy with mirrored flowers about the brim, <br />Or like some tarn that wailing curlews skim, <br />Glassing the sallow uplands or brown fell; <br />And so, as men go down into a dell <br />(Weary with noon) to find relief and shade, <br />When on the uneasy sick-bed we are laid, <br />We shall go down into thy book, and tell <br />The leaves, once blank, to build again for us <br />Old summer dead and ruined, and the time <br />Of later autumn with the corn in stook. <br />So shalt thou stint the meagre winter thus <br />Of his projected triumph, and the rime <br />Shall melt before the sunshine in thy book.<br /><br />Robert Louis Stevenson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-ii-7/
