“The feathers of the willow
Are half of them grown yellow
Above the swelling stream;
And ragged are the bushes,
And rusty now the rushes,
And wild the clouded gleam.”

Keeps honor bright; to have done is to hang
Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail,
In monumental mockery.”

of frayed rusty scrapiron,
is it the sea that shines?
Is it a road at the world’s edge?”
