Death & Dying
A slumber did my spirit seal
From The Golden Treasury, ed. F. T. Palgrave (1861)
Death & Dying
A slumber did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears:
She seem'd a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.
No motion has she now, no force;
She neither hears nor sees;
Roll'd round in earth's diurnal course
With rocks, and stones, and trees!
