Lines, on the same occasion. This poem is known in Santa Barbara as “The Vision of Camilla concerning Manuel.”
In the dark night I saw Death drawing near
To make me go from here;
In all my sin, with all my work undone,

I saw the souls of all my earthly friends
Laid bare, their aims and ends;
How some might love him, many help, but none
