XXXVIII. DEAD.
THERE's something quieter than sleepWithin this inner room!It wears a sprig upon its breast,And will not tell its name.
Some touch it and some kiss it,Some chafe its idle hand;It has a simple gravityI do not understand!
While simple-hearted neighborsChat of the 'early dead,'We, prone to periphrasis,Remark that birds have fled!
