Hid from moonlight wan,
Lo, from age-long darkness won,
It was seen of man!
In art's wan colours clad,
Whose very love and hate are grey--
Whose very sin is sad.
For summer spent and gone:
A few homing leaves drift by,
Poor souls bewildered and wan.
All gone the glowing noon;
No more the silent heath forlorn,
The wan-faced waning moon!
What gars ye greet an' pine?
Your e'e is dim, your cheek is wan—
What ails ye, Mary, mine?
Is wearied out with strife;
A long gray mist lies heavy and wan
Above the house of life.
