The cars and carts go by;
Senates and schools go droning on;
For dead things cannot die.
The thought of a Caesar in the purple came
From the palace by the Tiber in the Roman townland
To this wind-swept hill with no name.
And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,
And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds;
Where the wild bee drones and sways,
The wind, like a shepherd lover,
Flutes on the fragrant ways--
Heart of my heart, where the blossoms part,
What is the air he plays?
He sits here opposite me; I hear him croak
While he drones on: "You are animated clay,
Dead for all time, alive just for one day! ....
Death makes you nothing! . . . ."
And the laughter of my friends in the huge high-ceilinged hall,
Lectures and the voices of the dons deep-droning,
The things that were so common once — God, I feel them all.
