A Plaintive Movement

________________________________________________
Title:     A Plaintive Movement
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge [More Titles by Coleridge]

[11´ 4` 11´ 4` | 10´ 6` 4´ 10`]

Go little Pipe! for ever I must leave thee,
Ah, vainly true!
Never, ah never! must I more receive thee?
Adieu! adieu!
Well, thou art gone! and what remains behind,
Soothing the soul to Hope?
The moaning Wind--
Hide with sere leaves my Grave's undaisied Slope.

Note:
[It would be better to alter this metre--

10´ 6` 6´ 10` | 11´ 4` 11´ 4`: and still more plaintive if the 1st and 4th were 11´ 11´ as well as the 5th and 7th.]

[The end]
