Her mirth the world required:
    She bath’d it in smiles of glee.
But her heart was tired, tired,
    And now they let her be.

Her life was turning, turning,
    In mazes of heat and sound.
But for peace her soul was yearning,
    And now peace laps her round.

Her cabin’d, ample Spirit,
    It flutter’d and fail’d for breath.
To-night it doth inherit
    The vasty Hall of Death.
