Its joys and griefs, its harmony and strife;

Dissolves as if intent to negative

The utmost art of builder to revive.

Did ever man re-tread his native land

On whom Death once has laid his icy hand?

Yet living men will counterfeit a woe

For loss that in their graves they cannot know!

Well Nature losing patience might express

Herself in plain reproof of fussiness:

“What ails the man? Why all this waste of breath
