Seguramente los dioses salvarán la sonrisa cariñosa

"Basta para que ahora
no puedas dejar de escuchar

mi cuento de hadas" 

 

 

 

Fairy Tale - Omnia 

  Child of the pure unclouded brow
And dreaming eyes of wonder!
Though time be fleet, and I and thou
Are half a life asunder,

Thy loving smile will surely hail
The love-gift of a fairy-tale. 

 

I have not seen thy sunny face,
Nor heard thy silver laughter:
No thought of me shall find a place
In thy young life's hereafter

Enough that now thou wilt not fail
To listen to my fairy-tale.

 

A tale begun in other days,
When summer suns were glowing-
A simple chime, that served to time
The rhythm of our rowing-

Whose echoes live in memory yet,
Though envious years would say 'forget.' 

 

Come, hearken then, ere voice of dread,
With bitter tidings laden,
Shall summon to unwelcome bed
A melancholy maiden!

 

We are but order children, dear,
Who fret to find our bedtime near.

 

Without, the frost, the blinding snow,
The storm-wind's moody madness-
Within, the firelight's ruddy glow,
And childhood's nest of gladness.

 

The magic words shall hold thee fast:
Thou shalt not heed the raving blast. 

And, though the shadow of a sigh
May tremble through the story,
For 'happy summer days' gone by,
And vanish'd summer glory-

It shall not touch, with breath of bale,
The pleasance, of our fairy-tale.

 

Though time be fleet, and I and thou
Are half a life asunder,

 

Thy loving smile will surely hail
The love-gift of a fairy-tale
