Apollo’s Burnéd Laurel Bough

And the sunshine sky cannot brighten your mind;
Encumbered clouds stall and bide their time.

Your logic is pierced on a fork of distress,
Benighted in the listless shadow of reason.

Do not forsake Divinity’s supply --
She will be gone as stars in the black night.

Forlorn hope springs as water’s bloomed tide
And crashes on sands in spastic arrays.

Never will mind know peace or your heart true,
Nor can I pluck the petal of your love.

No blue skies will remind you of my eyes
And though I ache, I must now say good-bye.
