The naIsied,
The living dead in many shapes and forms.
To see the closingor this early crave
What was the death it would shut in.
To that which stl could crawl and creep aboveit!
Along the crowded path they now bore her;
Pure as the new fallen snow
That covered it; whose day on earth
Irndar that march whore she had set when TIe,yen
In mercy bro,oht her to tfat neacaf,I snot
