Seite 309 - The star that bids the shepherd fold Now the top of heaven doth hold ; And the gilded car of day His glowing axle doth allay In the steep Atlantic stream : And the slope sun his upward beam Shoots against the dusky pole, Pacing toward the other goal Of his chamber in the east.
Seite 1 - But time did beckon to the flowers, and they By noon most cunningly did steal away, And withered in my hand.
