Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882). Complete Poetical Works. 1893.
In the HarborAutumn Within
I
But within me is the cold.
Youth and spring are all about;
It is I that have grown old.
Singing, building without rest;
Life is stirring everywhere,
Save within my lonely breast.
Fall and rustle and are still;
Beats no flail upon the sheaves,
Comes no murmur from the mill.
