Excerpt from Farewell to Poesy and Other Pieces Farewell to Poesy Sweet Poesy, why art thou dumb! I loved thee as my captive bird, That sang me songs when spring was gone, And birds of freedom were not heard, Nor dreamt thou wouldst turn false and cold When needed most, by men grown old. Sweet Poesy, why art thou dumb! I fear thy singing days are done, The poet in my soul is dying, And every charm in life is gone, In vain birds scold and flowers do plead - The poet dies, his heart doth bleed. The Dark Hour And now, when merry winds do blow, And rain makes trees look fresh, An overpowering staleness holds This mortal flesh. Though I do love to feel the rain, And be by winds well blown - The mystery of mortal life Doth press me down.
