Sweet - safe - Houses -Glad - gay - Houses - Sealed so stately tight - Lids of Steel - on Lids of Marble - Locking Barefeet out -Brooks of Plush - in Banks of Satin Not so softly fall As the laughter - and the whisper - From their People Pearl - No Bald Death - affront their Parlors -No Bold Sickness come To deface their stately Treasures - Anguish - and the Tomb - Hum by - in muffled Coaches - Lest they - wonder Why -Any - for the Press of Smiling - Interrupt - to die -
