III.

Up to my ear my soul doth run--

Her other door is dark;

There she can see without the sun,

And there she sits to mark.

I

hear the dull unheeding wind Mumble o'er heath and wold;

My fancy leaves my brain behind,

And floats into the cold.

Like a forgotten face that lies

One of the speechless crowd,

The earth lies spent, with frozen eyes,

White-folded in her shroud.

O'er leafless woods and cornless farms,

Dead rivers, fireless thorps,

I

brood, the heart still throbbing warm In Nature's wintered corpse.
