edgar allan poe - the forest reverie - ghizela rowe lyrics

‘tis said that when
the hands of men
tamed this primeval wood
and h**ry trees with groans of woe
like warriors by an unknown foe
were in their strength subdued
the virgin earth gave instant birth
to springs that ne’er did flow
that in the sun did rivulets run
and all around rare flowers did blow
the wild rose pale perfumed the gale
and the queenly lily adown the dale
(whom the sun and the dew
and the winds did woo)
with the gourd and the grape luxuriant grew

so when in tears
the love of years
is wasted like the snow
and the fine fibrils of its life
by the rude wrong of instant strife
are broken at a blow
within the heart
do springs upstart
of which it doth now know
and strange, sweet dreams
like silent streams
that from new fountains overflow
with the earlier tide
of rivers glide
deep in the heart whose hope has died—
quenching the fires its ashes hide,—
its ashes, whence will spring and grow
sweet flowers, ere long
the rare and radiant flowers of song!
