First Line: But that from slow dissolving pomps of dawn
Last Line: For this, o human beings, mourn we may.


BUT that from slow dissolving pomps of dawn
No verity of slowly strengthening light
Early or late hath issued; that the day
Scarce-shown, relapses rather, self-withdrawn,
Back to the glooms of ante-natal night,
For this, O human beings, mourn we may.
