So live, that when thy summons comes to join | |
The innumerable caravan which moves | |
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take | 75 |
His chamber in the silent halls of death, | |
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, | |
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed | |
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave | |
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch | 80 |
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. |
