Excerpt from Sable and Purple: With Other Poems

Sable and Purple

May 1910

I

I sing not Death. Death is too great a thing
For me to dare to sing.
I chant the human goodness, human worth,
Which are not lost, but sweeten still the Earth;
The things that flee not with the upyielded breath,
But, housed in sanctuary of simple hearts,
Live undethroned when Death
Comes to the chamber of a mighty King,
And sheds abroad the silence of his wing,
Then shakes his raven plumage, and departs.
