undistinguishable

These are the forgeries of jealousy ;
And never , since the middle summer’s spring ,
Met we on hill , in dale , forest , or mead ,
By pavèd fountain or by rushy brook ,
Or in the beachèd margent of the sea ,
To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind ,
But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport .
Therefore the winds , piping to us in vain ,
As in revenge have sucked up from the sea
Contagious fogs , which , falling in the land ,
Hath every pelting river made so proud
That they have overborne their continents .
The ox hath therefore stretched his yoke in vain ,
The plowman lost his sweat , and the green corn
Hath rotted ere his youth attained a beard .
The fold stands empty in the drownèd field ,
And crows are fatted with the murrain flock .
The nine-men’s-morris is filled up with mud ,
And the quaint mazes in the wanton green ,
For lack of tread , are undistinguishable .
The human mortals want their winter here .
No night is now with hymn or carol blessed .
Therefore the moon , the governess of floods ,
Pale in her anger , washes all the air ,
That rheumatic diseases do abound .
And thorough this distemperature we see
The seasons alter : hoary-headed frosts
Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose ,
And on old Hiems’ thin and icy crown
An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
Is , as in mockery , set . The spring , the summer ,
The childing autumn , angry winter , change
Their wonted liveries , and the mazèd world
By their increase now knows not which is which .
And this same progeny of evils comes
From our debate , from our dissension ;
We are their parents and original .

These things seem small and undistinguishable ,
Like far-off mountains turnèd into clouds .
