Amy Levy - In the Black ForestAmy Levy - In the Black Forest
Work rating: Medium


I lay beneath the pine trees,    And looked aloft, where, through The dusky, clustered tree-tops,    Gleamed rent, gay rifts of blue. I shut my eyes, and a fancy    Fluttered my sense around: "I lie here dead and buried,    And this is churchyard ground. "I am at rest for ever;    Ended the stress and strife." Straight I fell to and sorrowed    For the pitiful past life. Right wronged, and knowledge wasted;    Wise labour spurned for ease; The sloth and the sin and the failure;    Did I grow sad for these? They had made me sad so often;    Not now they made me sad; My heart was full of sorrow    For joy it never had.
