Isaiah Zerbst Poet Rispetto

Beauty Pastoral - Picture Perfect

About a castle crowned with gleaming towers,
Young grass and budding trees announce the Maytime;
Above the mountain streams or blooming flowers,
The thrushes and the larks sing all the daytime.

There through the woods rove pairs of lad and maiden,
Each damsels' hair with flowers overladen:
One plays a harp beside a crystal grotto;
To live each day 'neath beauty's locks their motto.

Debbie Guzzi August 22, 2013 at 9:29 AM It is a much romanticized time, and not all what is portrayed except the royalty, such a small part of the population. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting on my verse. Light & Love
