This is a rather grim little verse from Clark Ashton Smith (CAS).  It's not the first of his poems I've read that deals with lassitude and indifference to worldly affairs, and unfortunately, it's not much of a standout among those thematically related works.  It reads somewhat like a first draft, due to awkward enjambment and suspect word choices.
