Merlin Poem
This is a poem about Merlin that is in the front of the book " The Crystal Cave". My Mom got it for me to read, and I love it so far.
By: Edwin Muir
- O Merlin in your crystal cave
- Deep in the diamond of the day
- Will there ever be a singer
- Whose smooth music will smooth away
- The furrow drawn by Adam's finger
- Across the meadow and the wave?
- Or a runner who'll outrun
- Man's long shadow driving on
- Burst through the gates of history
- And hang the apple on the tree
- Will your sorcery ever show
- The sleeping bride shut in her bower
- The day wreathed in its mound of snow
- And time locked in his tower?
Fly back now.....
