Viennese Escapes


A Murmur in the Trees -- to note --
Not loud enough -- for Wind --
A Star -- not far enough to seek --
Nor near enough -- to find --

A long -- long Yellow -- on the Lawn --
A Hubbub -- as of feet --
Not audible -- as Ours -- to Us --
But dapperer -- More Sweet --

A Hurrying Home of little Men
To Houses unperceived --
All this -- and more -- if I should tell --
Would never be believed --

Of Robins in the Trundle bed
How many I espy
Whose Nightgowns could not hide the Wings --
Although I heard them try --
Emily Dickinson

Viennese Escapes: Burgenland
Photographed in
Late October 2009

While selecting the pictures
for today's post I was listening to
Lucia Popp singing "Laudate Dominum":
Laudate Dominum omnes gentes,
Laudate eum omnes populi"
"Praise the Lord all you nations,
praise him all you peoples
."
(Psalm 117)

    I love that part of the country,

    I wonder if the wells are still functional?
