Death is potential to that Man
Who dies — and to his friend —
Beyond that — unconspicuous
To Anyone but God —
Of these Two — God remembers
The longest — for the friend —
Is integral — and therefore
Itself dissolved — of God —
-
-
That short — potential stir
That each can make but once —
That Bustle so illustrious
'Tis almost Consequence —
Is the eclat of Death —
Oh, thou unknown Renown
That not a Beggar would accept
Had he the power to spurn —
