Lucy Maud Montgomery - While the Fates SleepLucy Maud Montgomery - While the Fates Sleep
Work rating: Low


Come, let us to the sunways of the west,  Hasten, while crystal dews the rose-cups fill, Let us dream dreams again in our blithe quest  O`er whispering wold and hill. Castles of air yon wimpling valleys keep  Where milk-white mist steals from the purpling sea,  They shall be ours in the moon`s wizardry, While the fates, wearied, sleep. The viewless spirit of the wind will sing  In the soft starshine by the reedy mere, The elfin harps of hemlock boughs will ring  Fitfully far and near; The fields will yield their trove of spice and musk,  And balsam from the glens of pine will fall,  Till twilight weaves its tangled shadows all In one dim web of dusk. Let us put tears and memories away,  While the fates sleep time stops for revelry; Let us look, speak, and kiss as if no day  Has been or yet will be; Let us make friends with laughter `neath the moon,  With music on the immemorial shore,  Yea, let us dance as lovers danced of yore­ The fates will waken soon!
