The Death-Wake

or Lunacy, A Necromaunt. In Three Chimeras. By Thomas Tod Stoddart

expand section 

But Death was by, like shell of pyramid
Among old obelisks, and his eyeless head
Shook o'er the wiery ribs, where darkness lay
The image of a heart—He is away!
And Julio is watching, like Remorse,
Over the pale and solitary corse!
