Death & Dying
IX
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 1
Death & Dying
A human creature found too weak
To bear his human pain--
(May Heaven's dear grace have spoken peace
To his dying heart and brain!)
For when they came at dawn of day
To lift the lady's corpse away,
Her bier was holding twain.
