Excerpt from In SpemIn Spem.From "Phon, an Epic-Drama of Life, Death and Immortality."Canto Seventh.I.Bring, cypress and myrtle to crown the Dead -The dead, the dead, the dead Old Past, With the dust of ages on him cast, And the sere leaves of Autumn lately shed, Autumnal leaves in dying glory shed, And turn'd to dust from whence they came, Or gas to make some future flame, Or flow'rs, for spring-time, in their early bed.He died yesterday, and to-day he liesIn death, and he, to-morrow, diesMid laughing sounds and wailing cries, And not a soul could live unless he dies.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
