Rupert Brooke - The Goddess In The WoodRupert Brooke - The Goddess In The Wood
Work rating: Low


In a flowered dell the Lady Venus stood, Amazed with sorrow.  Down the morning one Far golden horn in the gold of trees and sun Rang out; and held; and died. . . .  She thought the wood Grew quieter.  Wing, and leaf, and pool of light Forgot to dance.  Dumb lay the unfalling stream; Life one eternal instant rose in dream Clear out of time, poised on a golden height. . . . Till a swift terror broke the abrupt hour. The gold waves purled amidst the green above her; And a bird sang.  With one sharp-taken breath, By sunlit branches and unshaken flower, The immortal limbs flashed to the human lover, And the immortal eyes to look on death.
