In his scarlet cap,
and gossamer shoes,
Orpheus drifted on pond's silvery
light,
his flute charming life "I
go a-fishing in."
In
summer, they
appear blue
at a little distance,
especially
if agitated,
and at a
great
distance, all appear alike.
Paths into the
mountains redrawn
by
raging
rivers and misleading dreams,
he climbed past
"the limit of what art
can attain:"
the poet,
who
finally
found his way home.
