COME, WAILING WINDS; COME, BIRDS OF NIGHT.
Come, wailing winds; come, birds of night;
Come, Time, and bring the ivy vine
To wind in constant clasp and bright
This desolated pride of mine;—
Come with your mildew and your mould
For these rich draperies, these fair halls;
Come with your mosses, and enfold
These humbled towers, these broken walls!
