Ralph Waldo Emerson, comp. (18031882). Parnassus: An Anthology of Poetry. 1880. | | Come Morir | By Samuel Gray Ward (18171907) |
| HE leaves the earth, and says, enough and more | |
Unto thee have I given, oh Earth.For all | |
With hand free and ungrudging gave I up, | |
But now I leave thy pale hopes and dear pains, | |
The rude fields where so many years Ive tilled, | 5 |
And where no other feeling gave me strength, | |
Save that from them my home was aye in view, | |
For only transient clouds could hide from me | |
My spirits home, whence it came, where should go; | |
Enough, more than enough, now let me rest. | 10 | | |
