Poem: Endymion (For Music)

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Poem: Endymion (For Music)

 

The apple trees are hung with gold,

And birds are loud in Arcady,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址The sheep lie bleating in the fold,

The wild goat runs across the wold,

But yesterday his love he told,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址I know he will come back to me.

O rising moon!  O Lady moon!

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Be you my lover's sentinel,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址You cannot choose but know him well,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址For he is shod with purple shoon,

You cannot choose but know my love,

For he a shepherd's crook doth bear,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址And he is soft as any dove,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址And brown and curly is his hair.

 

The turtle now has ceased to call

Upon her crimson-footed groom,

The grey wolf prowls about the stall,

The lily's singing seneschal

Sleeps in the lily-bell, and all

The violet hills are lost in gloom.

上海龙凤shlf最新地址O risen moon!  O holy moon!

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Stand on the top of Helice,

And if my own true love you see,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Ah! if you see the purple shoon,

The hazel crook, the lad's brown hair,

The goat-skin wrapped about his arm,

Tell him that I am waiting where

The rushlight glimmers in the Farm.

 

The falling dew is cold and chill,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址And no bird sings in Arcady,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址The little fauns have left the hill,

Even the tired daffodil

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Has closed its gilded doors, and still

My lover comes not back to me.

False moon!  False moon!  O waning moon!

Where is my own true lover gone,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Where are the lips vermilion,

The shepherd's crook, the purple shoon?

Why spread that silver pavilion,

Why wear that veil of drifting mist?

Ah! thou hast young Endymion,

Thou hast the lips that should be kissed!
