You Will Remember This All O Son
You Will Remember This All O Son
----------------------------------
These gushing streams have deep blue-watered ice-cold lakes,
There in the high snowy forests their sources :
Meet here beautiful .
This shepherd's tent,
Sheep scattered along the willowy bank .
(These shepherds are poets in personality --the souls of ancient prophets and their descendants.)
Their melodious bleating , whispering-like twittering of these sparrows in the willows ;
Scary roaring of these snowy streams ,
These kind blows of breeze,
And the echoing calls of this young shepherdess :
You will remember it all!
These young shepherds having fun--
Crossing the stream ,
With their crooks measuring the depth and taking support .
And the shepherd running like an Olympian ,
Leaping jumping like an Arabian horse,
Along the rocky bank
And catching the guest-shepherd's shoe.
You will remember it all, and me!
This fair free day , this mysterious place ,
When you grow into a man o dear son .
And it's natural --you will pen down the magical memories
And be a poet's poet-son.
