Aweary.

Topics: classic

The clouds that vex the upper deep     Stay not the white sail of the moon;     And lips may moan, and hearts may weep,     The sad old earth goes rolling on.     O'er smiling vale, and sighing lake,     One shadow cold is overthrown;     And souls may faint, and hearts may break,     The sad old earth goes rolling on.
