I hear an alarm but am not alarmed

I hear an alarm but am not alarmed
Numerous threats pierce empty as the cry "Wolf!"
The siren now rings for days unharmed.

Soon after true cause for alarm took place
I would jolt from sad gestures among more than two; now
I hear an alarm but am not alarmed.

Doomsday blares bright at my lined face
Creased by too much talk of a coming row
The siren now rings for days unharmed.

No one remarks or shows a change of pace
On each a blank countenance that asks me and them how
I hear an alarm but am not alarmed.

Wisdom traveled and erased without a trace
Worries once felt that would assalt even the middle brow
The siren now rings for days unharmed.

The distress of no distress or heart-race
From the siren people hear as Dow
I hear an alarm but am not alarmed
The siren now rings for days unharmed.
