Death & Dying
Belinda's Recovery from Sickness
From The Oxford Book of English Verse, ed. Arthur Quiller-Couch (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1900)
Death & Dying
Thus when the silent grave becomes
Pregnant with life as fruitful wombs;
When the wide seas and spacious earth
Resign us to our second birth;
Our moulder'd frame rebuilt assumes
New beauty, and for ever blooms,
And, crown'd with youth's immortal pride,
We angels rise, who mortals died.
