THE SHADOW.[5]

I dreamed a dream: I dreamt that I espied,

Upon a stone that was not rolled aside,

A Shadow sit upon a grave—a Shade,

As thin, as unsubstantial, as of old

Came, the Greek poet told,

To lick the life-blood in the trench Ulysses made—

As pale, as thin, and said:

‘I am the Resurrection of the Dead.
