Robbed By Death-but That Was Easy

971

Robbed by Death-but that was easy-
To the failing Eye
I could hold the latest Glowing-
Robbed by Liberty

For Her Jugular Defences-
This, too, I endured-
Hint of Glory-it afforded-
For the Brave Beloved-

Fraud of Distance-Fraud of Danger,
Fraud of Death-to bear-
It is Bounty-to Suspense's
Vague Calamity-

Stalking our entire Possession
On a Hair's result-
Then-seesawing-coolly-on it-
Trying if it split-
