Since When Was Genius Found Respectable?

Life, Struck Sharp On Death, Makes Awful Lightning.

Love That Endures, From Life That Disappears!

O Death, O Beyond, Thou Art Sweet, Thou Art Strange!

Oh, The Little Birds Sang East, And The Little Birds Sang West.

Alas, I Have Grieved So I Am Hard To Love. Yet Love Me--wilt Thou? Open Thine Heart Wide, And Fold Within, The Wet Wings Of Thy Dove.
