So I sang; but the Muse,
Shaking her head, took the harp —
Stern interrupted my strain,
Angrily smote on the chords.
April showers
Rush o'er the Yorkshire moors.
Stormy, through driving mist,
Loom the blurr'd hills; the rain
Lashes the newly-made grave.
Unquiet souls!
— In the dark fermentation of earth,
In the never idle workshop of nature,
In the eternal movement,
Ye shall find yourselves again!
