POEM

The day is turning ghost, 
And scuttles from the kalendar in fits and furtively, 
  To join the anonymous host 
Of those that throng oblivion; ceding his place, maybe, 
  To one of like degree.

I part the fire-gnawed logs, 
Rake forth the embers, spoil the busy flames, and lay the ends 
  Upon the shining dogs; 
Further and further from the nooks the twilight's stride extends, 
  And beamless black impends.

Nothing of tiniest worth 
Have I wrought, pondered, planned; no one thing asking blame or 
praise, 
  Since the pale corpse-like birth 
Of this diurnal unit, bearing blanks in all its rays - 
  Dullest of dull-hued Days!

Wanly upon the panes 
The rain slides as have slid since morn my colourless thoughts; and 
yet 
  Here, while Day's presence wanes, 
And over him the sepulchre-lid is slowly lowered and set, 
  He wakens my regret.

Regret--though nothing dear 
That I wot of, was toward in the wide world at his prime, 
  Or bloomed elsewhere than here, 
To die with his decease, and leave a memory sweet, sublime, 
  Or mark him out in Time . . .

--Yet, maybe, in some soul, 
In some spot undiscerned on sea or land, some impulse rose, 
  Or some intent upstole 
Of that enkindling ardency from whose maturer glows 
  The world's amendment flows;

But which, benumbed at birth 
By momentary chance or wile, has missed its hope to be 
  Embodied on the earth; 
And undervoicings of this loss to man's futurity 
  May wake regret in me.
