FRAGMENT OF OLDE STUFFE, by JAMES A. BRILL First Line: Oh, heavy clouds have hid the mellow sun Last Line: Full:—hopelessly. | |||
Oh, heavy clouds have hid the mellow sun Full hopelessly; The tired year's creaking course is all but run, The were-wolf howl of chill blasts has begun; Life's joy doth vanish (when the summer's done)— Full hopelessly. So deem not me as wicked, wild, or rude (—Full hopelessly—) If guides me on this melancholy mood, I barter cash for what some imp has brewed, And, sprawling by my hearth-fire, get quite stewed— Full:—hopelessly. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GENERAL PUBLIC by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET SOMETHING CHILDISH, BUT VERY NATURAL; WRITTEN IN GERMANY by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE LITTLE GIFFEN by FRANCIS ORRERY TICKNOR MASSACHUSETTS TO VIRGINIA by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER ARETEMIAS by ANTIPATER OF SIDON SONNETS OF MANHOOD: 7.
