Contents:

The sun kept setting - setting - still

I died for beauty - but was scarce

Of course - I prayed

'Twas the old - road - through pain

I shall know why - when time is over

Of tolling bell I ask the cause?

I saw no way - the heavens were stitched

I heard a fly buzz - when I died

Go slow, my soul, to feed thyself

After great pain, a formal feeling comes

I've seen a dying eye

At least - to pray - is left - is left

I went to Heaven

The first day's night had come

We dream - it is good we are dreaming

What if I say I shall not wait!

That such have died enable us

Departed - to the judgement.
