museful

She led him, in museful silence, At once through the open door, And his hope grew bright, like a fairy light, That flickered and danced before!

There would not soon be found, I ween, One foot of ground among those bands For museful thought, So many shriekers of the keen Would cry aloud and clap their hands, All woe distraught!

Her museful ardours were chilled by the looks of Ormond.

She was sitting in her own apartment in a museful posture.

How, to a museful spirit, the heart and soul of man is reflected in the shows of nature!
