In Memoriam A.H.H.
I
wage not any feud with Death
For changes wrought on form and face;
No lower life that earth’s embrace
May
breed with him, can fright my faith.
Eternal
process moving on,
From state to state the spirit walks;
And these are but the shatter’d stalks,
Or
ruin’d chrysalis of one.
Nor
blame I Death, because he bare
The use of virtue out of earth:
I know transplanted human worth
Will
bloom to profit, otherwhere.
For
this alone on Death I wreak
The wrath that garners in my heart;
He put our lives so far apart
We
cannot hear each other speak.
