I meant to find Her
when I Came -
Death - had the same
design -
But the Success - was
His - it seems -
And the Surrender -
Mine -
I meant to tell Her how

For just this single time -
But Death had told
Her so the first -
And she had past, with Him -
To wander - now - is my Repose -
To rest - To rest would be
A privilege of Hurricane
To Memory - and Me -
