Mathilde Blind - To Memory

2014-11-07 0 Dailymotion

Oh in this dearth and winter of the soul, <br />When even Hope, still wont to soar and sing, <br />Droopeth, a starveling bird whose downy wing <br />Stiffens ere dead through the dank drift it fall-- <br />Yea, ere Hope perish utterly, I call <br />On thee, fond Memory, that thou haste and bring <br />One leaf, one blossom from that far-off spring <br />When love's auroral light lay over all. <br /> <br />Bring but one pansy: haply so the thrill <br />Of poignant yearning for those glad dead years <br />May, like the gusty south, breathe o'er the chill <br />Of frozen grief, dissolving it in tears, <br />Till numb Hope, stirred by that warm dropping rain, <br />Will deem, perchance, Love's springtide come again.<br /><br />Mathilde Blind<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-memory-2/
