English Poetry. William Watson. Thy Voice from Inmost Dreamland Calls. Уильям Уотсон.

William Watson (Уильям Уотсон)

* * *

Thy voice from inmost dreamland calls;
  The wastes of sleep thou makest fair;
Bright o'er the ridge of darkness falls
  The cataract of thy hair.

The morn renews its golden birth:
  Thou with the vanquished night dost fade;
And leav'st the ponderable earth
  Less real than thy shade.

3. On Exaggerated Deference to Foreign Literary Opinion
4. Mensis Lacrimarum
5. Scentless Flow’rs I Bring Thee
