[BNP/E3, 78B – 26]

Winter Day

__________________________________________________________

So fade unconscious as the zephyr fades

Or as a scent leaveth the embalmed glade

Unfelt, till the absence grows into our sense.

__________

Or as the skylark’s music dies in air

And leaves the silence trembling[1].

__________________________________________________________

As day into dark night, and night to[2] morning fair.

__________________________________________________________

As the wind blows and strengthening holds in air

The sky silk of a sleeping maiden’s hair.

__________

Egotist. Demogorgon.
