Transcendental Sonnet #877:
Night Falls in Lonely Town

Everything I say is wrong
Nothing I say is right
Flat and broken is my song
And I have lost the light

I was my own undoing
And now I am undone
To spend the dark hours ruing
How I have lost the sun

I will never understand
If I live ninety years
Never fill my heart's demand
For ocean-tides of tears

Alone and lost in Lonely Town
Night falls on me... and knocks me down
