Shelley's Skylark
(The neighbourhood of Legborn: March, 1887)
5 | SOMEWHERE afield here something lies In Earth's oblivious eyeless trust That moved a poet to prophecies – A pinch of unseen, unguarded dust: The dust of the lark that Shelley heard, |
|
10 | And made immortal through times to be; – Though it only lived like another bird, And knew not its immortality. [43] Lived its meek life; then, one day, fell – A little ball of feather and bone; |
|
15 | And how it perished, when piped farewell, And where it wastes, are alike unknown. Maybe it rests in the loam I view, Maybe it throbs in a myrtle's green, Maybe it sleeps in the coming hue |
|
20 | Of a grape on the slopes of yon inland scene. Go find it, faeries, go and find That tiny pinch of priceless dust, And bring a casket silver-lined, And framed of gold that gems encrust; |
|
And we will lay it safe therein, And consecrate it to endless time; For it inspired a bard to win Ecstatic heights in thought and rhyme. |
