Changed

FROM the outskirts of the town

Where of old the milestone stood,

Now a stranger, looking down

I behold the shadowy crown

Of the dark and haunted wood.

Is it changed, or am I changed?

Ah! the oaks are fresh and green,

But the friends with whom I ranged

Through their thickets are estranged

By the years that intervene.

Bright as ever flows the sea,

Bright as ever shines the sun;

But alas! they seem to me

Not the sun that used to be,

Not the tides that used to run.
