The Darkling Thrush
I leant upon a coppice1 gate
When Frost was specter-grey,
And Winter's dregs made desolate
The weakening eye of day.
5 The tangled bine-stems2 scored the sky
Like strings of broken lyres3,
And all mankind that haunted nigh4
Had sought their household fires.
The land's sharp features seemed to be
10 The Century's corpse outleant,
His crypt the cloudy canopy,
The wind his death-lament.
The ancient pulse of germ and birth
Was shrunken hard and dry,
15 And every spirit upon earth
Seemed fervourless5 as I.
At once a voice arose among
The bleak twigs overhead
In a full-hearted evensong
20 Of joy illimited;
An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small,
In blast-beruffled plume6,
Had chosen thus to fling his soul
Upon the growing gloom.
25 So little cause for carolings
Of such ecstatic sound
Was written on terrestrial things
Afar or nigh around,
That I could think there trembled through
30 His happy good-night air
Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew
And I was unaware.
