<h2> SONG WAS GONE FROM ME </h2>
<p>Dearest, once more! This I could tell and tell<br/>
Till life turned drowsy with the ceaseless note;<br/>
Dearest, once more! The words throb in my throat,<br/>
My heart beats to them like a muffled bell.<br/>
<br/>
Change—Time and Change! O Change and Time, you come<br/>
Not knocking at my door, knowing me gone;<br/>
Here have I dwelt within my heart alone,<br/>
Watching and waiting, while my muse was dumb<br/>
<br/>
Song was gone from me—sweet, I could not sing,<br/>
Save as men sing upon the lonely hills;<br/>
Under my hand the old chord ceased to ring,<br/>
<br/>
Hushed by the grinding of the high gods’ mills.<br/>
Dearest, once more. Those mad mills had their way—<br/>
Now is mine hour. To every man his day.<br/></p>
