“Alas, alas! another day gone by,
Another day and no soul come”

— William Morris

The Earthly Paradise (1868-70), The Lady of the Land
Context: "Alas, alas! another day gone by,
Another day and no soul come," she said;
"Another year, and still I am not dead!"
And with that word once more her head she raised,
And on the trembling man with great eyes gazed.

They were full of hope
The great journey that was before me then
Was what was destined to be, bye bye.

Alas and woe, oh.”
