    Why Did I Laugh Tonight? No Voice Will Tell

    Why did I laugh tonight? No voice will tell:
    No God, no Demon of severe response,
    Deigns to reply from Heaven or from Hell.
    Then to my human heart I turn at once.
    Heart! Thou and I are here, sad and alone;
    I say, why did I laugh? O mortal pain!
    O Darkness! Darkness! ever must I moan,
    To question Heaven and Hell and Heart in vain.
    Why did I laugh? I know this Being's lease,
    My fancy to its utmost blisses spreads;
    Yet would I on this very midnight cease,
    And the world's gaudy ensigns see in shreds;
    Verse, Fame, and Beauty are intense indeed,
    But Death intenser -Death is Life's high meed.
