MEMORIALS
Death sets a thing significant / The eye had hurried by,
Our lives are Swiss, --
So still, so cool,
Till, some odd afternoon,
The Alps neglect their curtains,
And we look farther on.
Italy stands the other side,
While, like a guard between,
The solemn Alps,
The siren Alps,
Forever intervene!
Death sets a thing significant / The eye had hurried by,
Split the lark and you'll find the music, / Bulb after bulb, in silver rolled,
FAREWELL. / Tie the strings to my life, my Lord,
To know just how he suffered would be dear; / To know if any human eyes were near
