He gave away his Life - To Us - Gigantic Sum - A trifle - in his own esteem - But magnified - by Fame - Until it burst the Hearts That fancied they could hold - When swift it slipped it's limit - And on the Heavens - unrolled -
'Tis Ours - to wince - and weep - And wonder - and decay By Blossoms gradual process - He chose - Maturity -
And quickening - as we sowed - Just obviated Bud - And when We turned to note the Growth - Broke - perfect - from the Pod.
