The Muttering Retreats

Of restless moonless blue sky, no stars sway.
Through unfailing half-deserted winding
cobblestone lanes, wall sconces light the way.
     Castle stone walls forged, dead ends are binding.
     The muttering retreats
     through half-deserted streets,
     shattered recall repeats.
                           Forbid to know;
        those come and go;
          but, hush, it's so.
A whisper rambling brings a dreadful day.
Insidious sleep a chance of finding.
Fragile trouble soul disastrous defeats
                           which still doth grow.
