'A Life that wearies me'

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

Come, come thou bleak December wind,
And blow the dry leaves from the tree!
Flash, like a Love-thought, thro’me, Death
And take a Life that wearies me.


–- Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1772-1834, ''Fragment 3''
