Subject(s): Memory; Past
I hear the distant murmur of the fountain
Flowing in flute-like music down the wind;
The voice of torrents on the far-off mountain
Sounds like the utterance of a kindred mind.
The bees' low monotone floats from the bowers;
The ivy rustles like a living thing;
The balmy breath of fragrant summer flowers
Fans my flushed brow like some kind angel's wing.
Soft as the murmur of a maiden dreaming,
Ripples the cooing accent of the dove;
And all around me here the sunshine streaming,
Wavers and quivers like the light of love.
Through my worn heart there flows a sound of singing,
And on my soul crowd visions of the past,
The pulses of my life again are ringing,
For Hope has come to me—has come at last!
