The Swan-Song

Alas! that the bohemian muse
Should call so late upon the singer,
When on the borders of the grave,
A little while his footsteps linger.

She brings a wreath to deck my bier,
When years all mortal hopes dissever,
And beckons to detain me here,
When evening shades grow thick for ever.
