Versos English Algernon Charles Swinburne Ii

English poem

Ii

Listen in the reader

And yet these days of subtler air and finer Delight, When lovelier looks the darkness, and diviner The light--

The gift they give of all these golden hours, Whose urn Pours forth reverberate rays or shadowing showers In turn--

Clouds, beams, and winds that make the live day's track Seem living-- What were they did no spirit give them back Thanksgiving?
