    Very nice and doleful, both

    They are, I think, lugubrious told.

    Did then you write them on a whim?

    Of depression, deep, so mournful them?

    They speak of things not of the bourn 

    For this, as they, would be all dry.

    Nothing left and desolate

    Its banks would run of dirt, no less.

    So sad, so cheerless, dejected most

    Where are the things of lighted prose?

    Of poetry that sweet, excelled

    So thick and rich to be dispelled

    And that not of the deepest pit

    Nor even yet the mired wit.

    These are the written, swords of light

    And even if you didn’t write

    Those to yourself, a lullaby

    For things of which you had foregone. 

    These very good again are they

    That written pen and ink to stay

    To flow and write the force of all

    Who dare to wander down its paths.

    Savvy? This may or may not have been on a whim. 🙂
