Thou unrelenting past.

I cannot sing the old songs, Or dream those dreams again,

Listen to the Water-Mill:
Through the live-long day
How the clicking of its wheel
Wears the hours away!

Binding up their sheaves:
And a proverb haunts my mind
As a spell is cast,
"The mill cannot grind
With the water that is past."
