THE MOON MAIDEN’S SONG

Sleep ! Cast thy canopy

Over this sleeper’s brain,

Dim grow his memory,

When he wake again.

Love stays a summer night,

Till lights of morning come ;

Then takes her winged flight

Back to her starry home.

Sleep ! Yet thy days are mine ;

Love’s seal is over thee :

Far though my ways from thine,

Dim though thy memory.

Love stays a summer night,

Till lights of morning come ;

Then takes her winged flight

Back to her starry home.

Ernest Christopher Dowson

Just. Look at this old New Year's postcard.

"1916 - I live in Kispest and am a lamplighter, which is why in the New Year, I wish you well. Maybe the old one wasn't that bad on you either, but hopefully this new one will bring something better still. I wish from all my heart, me, Igaz Mihály, who comes to your street to light lamps."

And of course the original is a poem. But. Just. Don't you love humanity.

#Just.#This was over a hundred years ago and that guy had a profession that doesn't exist any longer.#and I don't know the story of this postcard #but I assume all the lamplighters got together and had a bunch of these printed #and then everyone inserted their own names and distributed them to the houses in the streets they were working in #and if this doesn't make you emotional than I can't help you either.#Just. Humans. <3 #Old postcards #Magyar #New Year's
