The poem is about a sad man who is friends with Sorrow. He walks along the shore and calls out to the stars for comfort, but they continue laughing and singing. When he cries out to the sea to hear his sad story, the sea continues its endless rolling. He then stops in a valley and tells his story to the dewdrops, but they only listen to the sound of their own falling. Finally, he finds a shell and hopes to tell his story into it so his own echoing words can sing his tale and comfort him, but the shell only produces inarticulate moans before forgetting him.
