Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCDLet us go hence the night is now at hand | A |
The day is overworn the birds all flown | B |
And we have reaped the crops the gods have sown | B |
Despair and death deep darkness o'er the land | A |
Broods like an owl we cannot understand | A |
Laughter or tears for we have only known | B |
Surpassing vanity vain things alone | B |
Have driven our perverse and aimless band | A |
Let us go hence somewhither strange and cold | C |
To Hollow Lands where just men and unjust | D |
Find end of labour where's rest for the old | C |
Freedom to all from love and fear and lust | D |
Twine our torn hands O pray the earth enfold | C |
Our life sick hearts and turn them into dust | D |
