letra de madison julius cawein - a fallen beech - ghizela rowe

nevermore at doorways that are barken
shall the madcap wind knock and the moonlight;
nor the circle which thou once didst darken
shine with footsteps of the neighbouring moonlight
visitors for whom thou oft didst hearken

nevermore, gallooned with cloudy laces
shall the morning, like a fair freebooter
make thy leaves his richest treasure-places;
nor the sunset, like a royal suitor
clothe thy limbs with his imperial graces

and no more, between the savage wonder
of the sunset and the moon’s up-coming
shall the storm, with boisterous hoof-beats, under
thy dark roof dance, faun-like, to the humming
of the pan-pipes of the rain and thunder

oft the satyr-spirit, beauty-drunken
of the spring called; and the music measure
of thy sap made answer; and thy sunken
veins grew vehement with youth, whose pressure
swelled thy gnarly muscles, winter-shrunken

and the germs, deep down in darkness rooted
bubbled green from all thy million oilets
where the spirits, rain-and-sunbeam-suited
of the april made their whispering toilets
or within thy stately shadow footed
oft the hours of blonde summer tinkled
at the windows of thy twigs, and found thee
bird-blithe; or, with shapely bodies, twinkled
lissom feet of naked flowers around thee
where thy mats of moss lay sunbeam-sprinkled

and the autumn with his gypsy-coated
troop of days beneath thy branches rested
swarthy-faced and dark of eye; and throated
songs of roaming; or with red hand tested
every nut-bur that above him floated

then the winter, barren-browed, but rich in
sh-ggy followers of frost and freezing
made the floor of thy broad boughs his kitchen
trapper-like, to camp in; grimly easing
limbs snow-furred and moccasined with lichen

now, alas! no more do these invest thee
with the dignity of whilom gladness!
they unto whose hearts thou once confessed thee
of thy dreams now know thee not! and sadness
sits beside thee where, forgot, dost rest thee
