Siegfried Sassoon - Alone
Work rating: Medium

I’ve listened: and all the sounds I heard   
Were music,—wind, and stream, and bird.   
With youth who sang from hill to hill   
I’ve listened: my heart is hungry still.   
   
I’ve looked: the morning world was green;
Bright roofs and towers of town I’ve seen;   
And stars, wheeling through wingless night.   
I’ve looked: and my soul yet longs for light.   
   
I’ve thought: but in my sense survives   
Only the impulse of those lives
That were my making. Hear me say   
‘I’ve thought!’—and darkness hides my day.
