First Line: Pensive at eve, on the hard world I mused
Last Line: Oh my poor heart's inexplicable swell!


Pensive at eve, on the hard world I mused,
And my poor heart was sad; so at the MOON
I gazed, and sighed, and sighed; for ah how soon
Eve saddens into night! mine eyes perused
With tearful vacancy the dampy grass
That wept and glitter'd in the paly ray:
And I did pause me, on my lonely way
And mused me, on the wretched ones that pass
O'er the bleak heath of sorrow. But alas!
Most of myself I thought! when it befel,
That the soothe spirit of the breezy wood
Breath'd in mine ear: 'All this is very well,
But much of ONE thing, is for NO thing good.'
Oh my poor heart's INEXPLICABLE SWELL!
