Despondency

Title:     Despondency
Author: Matthew Arnold [More Titles by Arnold]

The thoughts that rain their steady glow
Like stars on life's cold sea,
Which others know, or say they know--
They never shone for me.

Thoughts light, like gleams, my spirit's sky,
But they will not remain.
They light me once, they hurry by;
And never come again.

[The end]
Matthew Arnold's poem: Despondency
