First Line: No one was with me there
Last Line: Went grieved away.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
No one was with me there --
Happy I was -- alone;
Yet from the sunshine suddenly
A joy was gone.
A bird in an empty house
Sad echoes makes to ring,
Flitting from room to room
On restless wing:
Till from its shades he flies,
And leaves forlorn and dim
The narrow solitudes
So strange to him.
So, when with fickle heart
I joyed in the passing day,
A presence my mood estranged
Went grieved away.
