Excerpt from In Spem
In 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 lies
In death, and he, to-morrow, dies
Mid laughing sounds and wailing cries,
And not a soul could live unless he dies.
