The Wind in the Temple Poems (Classic Reprint) by Edmund John Pdf
Excerpt from The Wind in the Temple Poems Autumn (To T. J.) . . . A broken blossom, a dead rose enshrined In odours of the wood, brown briers twined About an ancient stone . . . A leaf of withered amber in the wind Drifts on alone. In the still hollows the curled vapours seem To mourn; and on dim grass sunk to a dream Of shrouded amethyst, Like fallen stars white scattered petals gleam Through the blue mist. The wood is soundless, save where gems are shed From dripping branches, soft like laughter sped Away from eyes that weep On the pine-carpet and the dead leaves spread By hands of Sleep. Singing is fled, frail music of the merle Is lost like Love; and like a dead child's curl A curved gold rose-leaf rests. Each needle of the pines has its own pearl Of vanished quests.
