A Paean to Wordsworth

 

I ask, old man,

What is it now you look upon?

Why look on that which now is gone,

The withered grass upon the hill

Where youthful fervor no longer will

Seek vision whence so much was new

But lost, lost to your ancient view.

And missing that which was your youthful right

You dodder alone into endless night.
