Need help remembering a poem's title an author

an old king wanders into the woods and asks the trees where his dead wives and dead children have gone

the trees say nothing

i think the leaves are either dying or dead and gone

I think it was by a formerly respected academic American poet who isn't read much nowadays, somebody like Roethke or Allen Tate or Yvor Winters

Does this sound familiar to anybody?

"Yes I'm paranoid

He claimed to not be influenced by Pynchon but it's clear he was lying.

What was your question again?
