C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917.

Yew tree

Cheerless, unsocial plant! that loves to dwell
’Midst skulls and coffins, epitaphs and worms:
Where light-heel’d ghosts, and visionary shades,
Beneath the wan cold moon (as fame reports)
Embodied, thick, perform their mystic rounds.
No other merriment, dull tree! is thine.

Blair.
