So Soon Tired!

By Richard Le Gallienne

Am I so soon grown tired? - yet this old sky Can open still each morn so blue an eye, This great old river still through nights and days Run like a happy boy to holidays, This sun be still a bridegroom, though long wed, And still those stars go singing up the night, Glad as yon lark there splashing in the light: Are these old things indeed unwearied, Yet I, so soon grown tired, would creep away to bed!
