Excerpt from Studies in Rhyme and Rhythm

Dark and red as a winter sun The field of slaughter lies: The wind makes moan as it doth run Across the frighted skies. Like a lost soul distraught it ﬂies It wanders wild, but finds no rest, For red with blood is the brown earth's And the air is filled with dying cries, And all the world's unblest.

Down the mirk sky the sun doth sink In angry mood, blood red It stains the field and river-brink, And stirs the sickly dead. It gleams on many a knightly head, And glints on cap of common groom: It jests with death, and laughs at doom, And lights the wandering soul late-sped, That gropes in unknown gloom.
