He gave away his life

He gave away his Life -
To Us - Gigantic Sum -
A trifle - in his own esteem -
But magnified - by Fame -

Until it burst the Hearts
That fancied they could hold -
Whenquick swift it slipped it's limit -
And on the Heavens - unrolled -

'Tis Ours[^a1] - to wince - and weep -
And wonder - and decay
By commonBlossoms[^a2] gradual process -
He chose - Maturity -

[^a1: Ours | Our's]

[^a2: Blossoms | Blossom's]

Andripening - quickening - as we sowed -
Just obviated Bud -
And when We turned to note the Growth -
Broke - perfect - from the Pod -
