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?
