150FG if you can guess the real author's name of this piece:

what a woeful day in grey delight
ambling drowsily home in apathetic thought
of a dejected heart I slumber to end this night
yet a sound, a feint sound from the heavens brought



Let's get this out of the way before I see multiple posts of this:
The Author is NOT Andrew Gray

Simple things to consider:
1. I want a name
2. I know who wrote it so indeed there exist an answer, I did not write it. I know the entire piece so there is more to it.
3. Generally I'd like some proof rather than a random name. If you include proof such as a link showing the scan with the author's name OR the correct credits to a source I will ADD 50 more FG.
4. Google and Yahoo are not your friend, stop using that. Other people have messaged me with the same name 10 times in a row(from another game). Put some effort into it and do some research if you want the prize.



No entry fee required, this is at my general good will and expense. It is at my own courtesy to tell you if are wrong, but I will tell you as soon as possible if you are right. Unlimited guess per person, if you spam my box constantly I just may ignore you. Thank you for entering.

Yes. You would. This contest is not going to easily answered in 5 minutes. If you do some digging which I expect people to do and come up with the correct answer and not a random search engine guess then yes you are rewarded. I also do expect people to NOT do some digging thus the prize is set at 150 and possible +50.

This is tough, I've tried full text search through numerous online databases that I have access through from my university and no luck. Nothing on the gutenburg project either.

I already know about that link. That link doesn't give a correct answer, nor have any proof beside a random guess. That why I said it wasn't andrew gray off the bat because everyone is using that link as their guess. The other person has knowledge of the piece at least, and I know the piece in its entirety.
