Around my dwelling. ’Tis the wind of night;

A lonely wanderer between earth and cloud,

In the black shadow and the chilly mist,

Along the streaming mountain side, and through

The dripping woods, and o’er the plashy fields,

Roaming and sorrowing still, like one who makes

The journey of life alone, and nowhere meets

A welcome or a friend, and still goes on

In darkness. Yet awhile, a little while,

And he shall toss the glittering leaves in play,
