When sunlight faileth

When sunlight faileth,
& day’s glow is gone;
When chill mist traileth
Where warm splendour shone;

When summer’s pleasure
Dieth,—dieth too
The transient treasure
That with life up-grew

& none may herit,
Where then wilt thou turn,
O vagrant spirit,
That no home didst earn;

When none replieth
Of thy friends so true,
When sweet Joy crieth
‘Adieu, love, adieu!’
