XXXIII.

Reading edition

REQUIEM.

Taken from men this morning, Carried by men to-day, Met by the gods with banners Who marshalled her away.

One little maid from playmates, One little mind from school, — There must be guests in Eden; All the rooms are full.

Far as the east from even, Dim as the border star, — Courtiers quaint, in kingdoms, Our departed are.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
