“Lord! how it all comes back. How still the place is,

And he there lying dead⁠ ⁠… only the sound

Of a bluebottle buzzing⁠ ⁠… sharpened faces

Strained, gaping from the benches all around⁠ ⁠…

The dead man hunched and quiet with no wound,

And minute after minute terror creeping

With dreadful hopes to set the wild heart leaping.
