Are we funereal minded? Then I give you:
"O bard of fortune, you deem me nought" The Song Of The Waste-Paper Basket by Henry Lawson
"I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "
Gerald Murnane, Tamarisk Row
The last line of your poem: "And the hopes of both I drown."

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Two great poems... Loved this:
• "And through the house the wind goes rustling soft,
As might the ghost - a whisper of perfume -
Of some sweet girl long dead."
and this touched me:
• "I hope you sometimes will regret me." a sentiment I've learned too well in the negative (sigh).
