E. HousmanHow clear, how lovely bright,How beautiful to sightThose beams of morning play;How heaven laughs out with gleeWhere, like a bird set free,Up from the eastern seaSoars the delightful day.To-day I shall be strong,No more shall yield to wrong,Shall squander life no more;Days lost, I know not how,I shall retrieve them now;Now I shall keep the vowI never kept before.Ensanguining the skiesHow heavily it diesInto the west away;Past touch and sight and soundNot further to be found,How hopeless under groundFalls the remorseful day.
