O' Blessed Nightingale

O’ Blessed Nightingale,

fair light-feathered angel,

turned in flight about the forest green.

Where the small hours sweetly

Shadowed the crystal streams and flowering hills

And dawn will never answer.

The days pale complexion has long grown dim,

And it’s placid skies are overpowered

By the empress moon.

 

That rich light brings numberless

Shades of love and speech to the customary clouds,

Where the wondrous climbs know of its bright settings.

Pure gale will fan those noble wings of golden tender

From on that cedar bough

To soar above those wind driven trees

That couch her nest .

Where every high note heard is

Where every summer eve breathes and flies.

 

O’ Blessed Nightingale,

O’ Your mused song

O’ the thunder that sweetly trembles,

When she beat her majestic wings in flight.

Composing that choral symphony that softly serenades,

The tranquil night, with that melodious theme.

Twilights sparkling fays turns the wheels of heavens

Starry chariots, Where the earth angelic sky breathes easily the music.

 

The South West regions are struck by the midnight sun

Where the cheerful meadows, glisten from in it’s bright columns.

And the warming winds turn the golden leaves

Where the falling dew sweetly moistens the laurel groves.

In a stand of climbing rays that rain fair upon the open glades.

A veil of triumphal lilies held about a dreamy field

Are taken from her gleaming brow.

Where heavens pathway has been lost and her high

Celestial spirit flies by night above the tall

And slender plains.

Soaring freely about this lucent earth.

Hi Kevin,

First by seeing only two writes posted I assume you are new to the Cafe and I would like to give you a warm Welcome. I have been a memember since the end of September and it is fast beginning to feel like home here for me.

I loved this write. Your imagery is beautiful, your thoughts organized and touching. I will look forward to reading more of the person that is you.

Blessings,
Lesa

Possibly the best written piece of poetry I have seen so far here on the cafe. Your words are strong and beautiful. The images you paint are striking and vivid. I see no flaw in your words. This is what poetry should be, Very well done.
