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.
