Phaethon - Poem By Sri Aurobindo
from Golden Gleanings Hosted by Sri Aurobindo Ashram Delhi Branch
Phaethon - Poem By Sri Aurobindo Ye weeping poplars by the shelvy slope From murmurous lawns downdropping to the stream On whom the dusk air like a sombre dream Broods and a twilight ignorant of hope, Say what compulsion drear has bid you seam Your mossy sides with drop on eloquent drop That in warm rillets from your eyes elope? Is it for the too patient, sure decay Pale-gilded Autumn, aesthete of the years, A gorgeous death, a fading glory wears That thus along its tufted, downy way Creeps slothfully this ooze of amber tears, And thus with tearful gusts your branches sway Sighing a requiem to your emerald day?
