A fog drifts in, the heavy laden
           Cold white ghost of the sea—
One by one the hills go out,
           The road and the pepper-tree.
I watch the fog float in at the window
           With the whole world gone blind,
Everything, even my longing, drowses,
           Even the thoughts in my mind.
I put my head on my hands before me,
           There is nothing left to be done or said,
There is nothing to hope for, I am tired,
           And heavy as the dead.
