Can never come over again.

And never a spray of yew!
In quiet she reposes;
Ah, would that I did too!
Requiescat.
To hear the world applaud the hollow ghost
Which blamed the living man.
Growing Old.
Time may restore us in his course
Goethe's sage mind and Byron's force;
But where will Europe's latter hour
Again find Wordsworth's healing power?

The other powerless to be born.
