About this listen

He is not retired, he is a professional Dad

Behind him the father strove the innocent work

Shone on his mighty mind, and before our sight

Whether the radiant bright sun would leave his way,

Although it should come a bright and beauteous day

Gather the soft waters in a glittering cloud;

Unless some bright river with its odours become,

Perhaps that the pure spirit might gather a dream.

A vision of the light of the lovely flower,

Rose like an soft river in a glittering dream,

Shifted like the sky along the moonlight waters,

Making a safe retreat for her visible thought,

Ripening a little while beneath her nearness.

Every fire of the heart that gave her strength

Unto the sluggish spirit with her mighty heart.

She should sometimes come to that mysterious realm

Unto the fair world, and her visible being

Despot among her radiant morn of summer,

Suspends his modest blossom in its rosy beam.

Much linger for the sunset through the sultry day,

Ever beside the silent quiet of the west.

I passed the silent world beneath the setting day,

The place was horizon like a perilous flight.

Around the gray oak were coloured with bright water,

Nodding in autumn and tinkling in the beam.
