In the original post, I asked whether anyone could identify the poem beginning
“Oh, somewhere there are people who
Have nothing in the world to do
But sit among the Pyrenees . . .”
Author N, M, Cedeno provided the answer: “Midsummer Melancholy,” by Margaret Fishback (1900-1985).
She also provided a link to the entire (?) poem on The Berkshire Edge

I heard this poem recited on Anyone for Tennyson?, a series that ran on PBS from 1976-78. I haven’t been able to find it online.
If you know the author and/or a book in which the poem appears, please leave the name/title in a comment.
