Margaret, are you grieving 
    Over Goldengrove unleaving? 
    Leaves, like the things of man, you 
    With your fresh thoughts care for, can you? 
    Ah! as the heart grows older 
    It will come to such sights colder 
    By and by, nor spare a sigh 
    Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie; 
    And yet you will weep and know why. 
    Now no matter, child, the name: 
    Sorrow's springs are the same. 
    Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed 
    What héart héard of, ghóst guéssed: 
    It is the blight man was born for, 
    It is Margaret you mourn for.
