Which moan for rest and rest can never find;

A moan, a sigh, a sob, a storm, a strife.“

Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.“

In their strange penance. And this wretched orb
Knows not the taste of rest; a maniac world,
Homeless and sobbing through the deep she goes.“

Like the whispers of love, or the breathings of woe:

As he sang his farewell to his Lesbian maid!“

Grief too sad for song;
Wild wind, when sullen cloud
Knells all the night long;

Bare woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main, —
Wail, for the world's wrong!“
