XI
[Since years ago for evermore]
Since years ago for evermoreMy cedar ship I drew to shore;
And to the road and river-bed
And the green, nodding reeds, I said
304
Now with content at home I dwell,
And now divide my sluggish life
Betwixt my verses and my wife:
In vain: for when the lamp is lit
And by the laughing fire I sit,
Still with the tattered atlas spread
Interminable roads I tread.
