The Wanderer Annotated

There is nobody on the road
&nbsp But I,
And no beseeming abode
&nbsp I can try
For shelter, so abroad
&nbsp I must lie.

The stars feel not far up,
&nbsp And to be
The lights by which I sup
&nbsp Glimmeringly,
Set out in a hollow cup
&nbsp Over me.

They wag as though they were
&nbsp Panting for joy
Where they shine, above all care,
&nbsp And annoy,
And demons of despair -
&nbsp Life’s alloy.

Sometimes outside the fence
&nbsp Feet swing past,
Clock-like, and then go hence,
&nbsp Till at last
There is a silence, dense,
&nbsp Deep, and vast.

A wanderer, witch-drawn
&nbsp To and fro,
To-morrow, at the dawn,
&nbsp On I go,
And where I rest anon
&nbsp Do not know!

Yet it’s meet - this bed of hay
&nbsp And roofless plight;
For there’s a house of clay,
&nbsp My own, quite,
To roof me soon, all day
&nbsp And all night.
