Tranquil he lay, and strange to view + 

The peace which on his forehead beamed, + 

His breast was riddled through and through, + 

The blood gushed from the wound and steamed + 

Ere this but one brief moment beat + 

That heart with inspiration sweet + 

And enmity and hope and love⁠— + 

The blood boiled and the passions strove. + 

Now, as in a deserted house, + 

All dark and silent hath become; + 

The inmate is for ever dumb, + 

The windows whitened, shutters close⁠— + 

Whither departed is the host? + 

God knows! The very trace is lost. + 
