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:

Will

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.
