IMMORTAL is an ample word When what we need is by, But when it leaves us for a time, 'Tis a necessity.
It is true that the unknown is the largest need of the intellect, though for it, no one thinks to thank God.
Witchcraft was hung, in History, But History and I Find all the Witchcraft that we need Around us, every Day -
I see thee better in the dark I do not need a light.
To venerate the simple days Which lead the seasons by, Needs but to remember That from you or I They may take the trifle Termed mortality!
My life closed twice before its close; It yet remains to see If Immortality unveil A third event to me, So huge, so hopeless to conceive, As these that twice befell. Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell.
