The Song of the Happy Shepherd

The Song of the Happy Shepherd

My songs of old earths dreamy youth:
Of old the world on dreaming fed;
The Song of the Happy Shepherd
Pierced by my glad singing through,
And to its lips thy story tell,
Where are now the warring kings,
To the cracked tune that Chronos sings,
Grey Truth is now her painted toy;
Yet still she turns her restless head:
N九_九_藏_書o learning from the starry men,
Sing, then, for this is also sooth.
Troubling the endless reverie.
Only a sudden flaming word,
Some twisted, echo-harbouring shell.
In dreary dancing past us whirled,
THE woods of Arcady are dead,
Buried under the sleepy ground,
Go gather by the humming sea
But ah! she dreams not now; dream九*九*藏*書 thou!
For words alone are certain good:
But O, sick children of the world,
Words alone are certain good.
And die a pearly brotherhood;
Nor seek, for this is also sooth,
And they thy comforters will be.
And I would please the hapless faun,
The whirling ways of stars that pass -
Who follow with the optic glass

Dream, dream, for this is also sooth.
Walking ghostly in the dew,
Lest all thy toiling only breeds
And still I dream he treads the lawn,
New dreams, new dreams; there is no truth
Then nowise worship dusty deeds,
Has cloven and rent their hearts in twain,
Till they shall singing fade in ruth
With mirthful songs befo九_九_藏_書re the dawn.
An idle word is now their glory,
Saving in thine own heart. Seek, then,
Thy fretful words a little while,
Seek, then, for this is also sooth,
Where are now the watring kings?
To hunger fiercely after truth,
For fair are poppies on the brow:
Rewording in melodious guile
The wandering earth herself may be
No word of theirs - thehttps://read.99csw.com cold star-bane
In clanging space a moment heard,
Word be-mockers? - By the Rood,
Of all the many changing things
Reading some entangled story:
Where daffodil and lily wave,
His shouting days with mirth were crowned;
By the stammering schoolboy said,
And dead is all their human truth.
And over is their antique joy;
I must be gone: there is a grave
