Death & Dying

LXXVIII

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning 1806–1861

From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2

Death & Dying

"What right can you have, God's other works to scorn, despise, revile
them
In the gross, as mere men, broadly--not as noble men, forsooth,--
As mere Pariahs of the outer world, forbidden to assoil them
In the hope of living, dying, near that sweetness of your mouth?
