• Anhedonia

when ev’ning drapes all earth in purpled gown
tarry i awhile upon green knolls
longing for strength to fling my body down
and drown the wakeful anguish of my soul
for love and beauty all pervert and sour
and scarce-remembered pleasures all disgust
wilst hedonia lay benighted in her bow’r
all ever i have loved dissolved to dust
rebuked be talk of venerated sage
for in the very temple of delight
they say soft sadness pays rev’rent homage
wilst my mind’s halls remain devoid of light
though melancholy tendeth joy in rhyme
yet i have ne’r gained entrance to her shrine
