I came in haste with cursing breath, And heart of hardest steel; But when I saw thee cold in death, I felt as man should feel. For when I look upon that face, That cold, unheeding, frigid brown, Where neither rage nor fear has place, By Heaven! I cannot hate thee now!

In forms imaginary, th' unguided days
And rotten times that you shall look upon
When I am sleeping with my ancestors.
