Johannes Carl Andersen - Summer

2014-11-07 6 Dailymotion

And sleeps thy heart when flower and tree <br /> Adorn the summer stillness? <br />And did young Spring pass over thee <br /> In chillness? <br /> <br />Their scent delights and pleases, <br /> On petalled breezes blown, <br />But in their beauty freezes <br /> Thine own. <br /> <br />The flower awakes, the tree is leafed, <br /> Yet love in thee is dumb,— <br />Flowers fall, fruits ripen, corn is sheafed, <br /> Ho! Winter’s cold will come. <br /> <br />When wakens some November morn <br /> Dew-soft, around thee brightly, <br />And blossoms on the grey hawthorn <br /> Lie whitely, <br /> <br />Come thou, thy bosom beating, <br /> And learn, through new-found bliss, <br />No time so joyous, fleeting, <br /> As this. <br /> <br />Come thou, with shadows in thine eyes, <br /> And singing in thy heart, <br />And learn, ’mid trees, with flowers and skies, <br /> How young and dear thou art.<br /><br />Johannes Carl Andersen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-7/
