"Methinks this heart..."
Methinks this heart should rest awhile
So
stilly round the evening falls
The veiled sun sheds no parting smile
Nor
mirth nor music wakes my Halls
I have sat lonely all the day
Watching
the drizzly mist descend
And first conceal the hills in grey
And
then along the valleys wend
And I have sat and watched the trees
And
the sad flowers how drear they blow
Those flowers were formed to feel
the breeze
Wave their light leaves in summer's glow
Yet their lives passed in gloomy woe
And
hopeless comes its dark decline
And I lament because I know
That
cold departure pictures mine
