Death and I	A
On a hill so high	A
Stood side by side	B
And we saw below	C
Running to and fro	C
All things that be in the world so wide	B
	-
Ten thousand cries	D
From the gulf did rise	D
With a wild discordant sound	E
Laughter and wailing	F
Prayer and railing	F
As the ball spun round and round	E
	-
And over all	G
Hung a floating pall	H
Of dark and gory veils	I
'Tis the blood of years	J
And the sighs and tears	K
Which this noisome marsh exhales	K
	-
All this did seem	L
Like a fearful dream	L
Till Death cried with a joyful cry	A
Look down look down	M
It is all mine own	N
Here comes life's pageant by	A
	-
Like to a masque in ancient revelries	K
With mingling sound of thousand harmonies	K
Soft lute and viol trumpet blast and gong	O
They came along and still they came along	O
Thousands and tens of thousands all that e'er	P
Peopled the earth or ploughed th' unfathomed deep	Q
All that now breathe the universal air	R
And all that in the womb of Time yet sleep	Q
	-
Before this mighty host a woman came	S
With hurried feet and oft averted head	T
With accursed light	U
Her eyes were bright	U
And with inviting hand them on she beckoned	V
Her followed close with wild acclaim	S
Her servants three Lust with his eye of fire	P
And burning lips that tremble with desire	P
Pale sunken cheek and as he staggered by	A
The trumpet blast was hush'd and there arose	K
A melting strain of such soft melody	W
As breath'd into the soul love's ecstacies and woes	K
Loudly again the trumpet smote the air	R
The double drum did roll and to the sky	A
Bay'd War's bloodhounds the deep artillery	W
And Glory	W
With feet all gory	W
And dazzling eyes rushed by	A
Waving a flashing sword and laurel wreath	X
The pang and the inheritance of death	Y
	-
He pass'd like lightning then ceased every sound	E
Of war triumphant and of love's sweet song	O
And all was silent Creeping slow along	O
With eager eyes that wandered round and round	E
Wild haggard mien and meagre wasted frame	S
Bow'd to the earth pale starving Av'rice came	S
Clutching with palsied hands his golden god	Z
And tottering in the path the others trod	Z
These one by one	A2
Came and were gone	B2
And after them followed the ceaseless stream	L
Of worshippers who with mad shout and scream	L
Unhallow'd toil and more unhallow'd mirth	C2
Follow their mistress Pleasure through the earth	C2
Death's eyeless sockets glared upon them all	G
And many in the train were seen to fall	G
Livid and cold beneath his empty gaze	K
But not for this was stay'd the mighty throng	O
Nor ceased the warlike clang or wanton lays	K
But still they rush'd along along along	O
