The Slough of Despond



Stravaiging without the crowd
I stravaig without the crowd
Cloaked in a shroud of cloud
Wearing dejection, begging compassion.

I seek to be found
With anguish all around
Dispersing starvation, rousing ill passion

 As I stand
On sloppy sinking sand,
Sinking into the Slough of Despond,
Sinking in the Slough of Despond
Vitiating, swimming in stasis
Farther from an oasis
Of succor; hope couldn't respond.

Cloaked in a shroud of cloud
With anguish all around,
Seeking to be found,
I stravaig without the crowd.
