IV.

Thou mindest not; for hark!--again

Resounds thy racket

Shriller than before;

Singst thou this sad strain

As if befitting to thy ebon jacket,

With carvings curious,

And a color glossy,

Like old wine--

Tiny thing, be not so furious

And uneedful noisy;

Cease to pine

For something fled--for joys or hopes departed,

Or thou wilt make the angels broken-hearted,

O mourner most divine.
