XII

Where does a dead man go? -- The dead man dies;

But the free life that would no longer feed

On fagots of outburned and shattered flesh

Wakes to a thrilled invisible advance,

Unchained (or fettered else) of memory;

And when the dead man goes it seems to me

'T were better for us all to do away

With weeping, and be glad that he is gone.
