Arthur Hugh Clough - Elegiac II.Arthur Hugh Clough - Elegiac II.
Work rating: Low


Trunks the forest yielded with gums ambrosial oozing,     Boughs with apples laden beautiful, Hesperian, Golden, odoriferous, perfume exhaling about them,     Orbs in a dark umbrage luminous and radiant; To the palate grateful, more luscious were not in Eden,     Or in that fabled garden of Alcinoüs;Out of a dark umbrage sounds also musical issued,     Birds their sweet transports uttering in melody Thrushes clear piping, wood-pigeons cooing, arousing     Loudly the nightingale, loudly the sylvan echoes; Waters transpicuous flowed under, flowed to the list’ning     Ear with a soft murmur, softly soporiferous; Nor, with ebon locks too, there wanted, circling, attentive     Unto the sweet fluting, girls, of a swarthy shepherd; Over a sunny level their flocks are lazily feeding,     They of Amor musing rest in a leafy cavern.
