Thomas Hood - "Farewell, Life! My Senses Swim"
Work rating: Low

Farewell, Life! My senses swim, 
And the world is growing dim; 
Thronging shadows cloud the light, 
Like the advent of the night,— 
Colder, colder, colder still, 
Upward steals a vapor chill— 
Strong the earthy odor grows— 
I smell the mould above the rose!
 
Welcome, Life! the Spirit strives! 
Strength returns, and hope revives; 
Cloudy fears and shapes forlorn 
Fly like shadows at the morn,— 
O`er the earth there comes a bloom— 
Sunny light for sullen gloom, 
Warm perfume for vapor cold— 
I smell the rose above the mould!
