From Sunset To Star Rise.

Topics: classic

Go from me, summer friends, and tarry not:     I am no summer friend, but wintry cold,     A silly sheep benighted from the fold,     A sluggard with a thorn-choked garden plot.     Take counsel, sever from my lot your lot,     Dwell in your pleasant places, hoard your gold;     Lest you with me should shiver on the wold,     Athirst and hungering on a barren spot.     For I have hedged me with a thorny hedge,     I live alone, I look to die alone:     Yet sometimes when a wind sighs through the sedge,     Ghosts of my buried years and friends come back,     My heart goes sighing after swallows flown     On sometime summer's unreturning track.
