[XXXVIII. A throe upon the features]
A throe upon the features
A hurry in the breath,
An ecstasy of parting
Denominated “Death,”—
A hurry in the breath,
An ecstasy of parting
Denominated “Death,”—
An anguish at the mention,
Which, when to patience grown,
I 've known permission given
To rejoin its own.
Which, when to patience grown,
I 've known permission given
To rejoin its own.
