That What Is Gone

Nothing is more wistful than
A shadowy gloaming 
With fading lights 
Withdrawn from the morning 

The Sky spread out 
To make a shroud
Out of every sober and 
Sorrowful cloud  

What feelings you make 
Of the melancholy moan
From the fading geese 
So gloomy to the bone

The wilting soul 
Is of such depression made
Every grim tree is now 
Without a shade
