EXSPECTO RESURRECTIONEM

Oh! King who hast the key

Of that dark room,

The last which prisons us but held not Thee,

Thou know’st its gloom.

Dost Thou a little love this one

Shut in to-night,

Young and so piteously alone,

Cold—out of sight?

Thou know’st how hard and bare

The pillow of that new-made narrow bed,

Then leave not there

So dear a head!
