Book Description

Excerpt from The Last Poems of Susan K. Phillips Nightingales at Granada Do you forget the starry light, The glory of the southern night; The wooing of the scented breeze, That rustled all the shadowy trees; The tinkling of the falling streams, That mingled with our waking dreams; And, echoing from the wooded vales, The nightingales, the nightingales? Do you forget how passing fair The Moorish palace nestled there, With arch and roof and coign and niche, In carven beauty rare and rich; With court and hall and corridor, Where we two lingered, o'er and o'er, While blent with old romantic tales The music of the nightingales? Do you forget the glowing noon When, by the fountain's rhythmic tune, We talked of all that once had been, And peopled the calm, lonely scene With stately forms of elder times, Of history's lore and poet's rhymes, And feats o'er which our fancy pales; And thrilled through all, the nightingales?
