Poems (Mary Coleridge)/Poem 22

​
XXII HORROR
Thy body is no more thy house, It is become thy sepulchre.I cannot any more arouse The spirit that did inhabit there.
The brain's asleep before its time. I would that thou hadst died outright,And I had seen thee, in thy prime, Go half to darkness, half to light!
