Table of Contents:

• The sun kept setting - setting - still
• I died for beauty - but was scarce
• Of course - I prayed
• 'Twas the old - road - through pain
• I shall know why - when time is over
• Of tolling bell I ask the cause?
• I saw no way - the heavens were stitched
• I heard a fly buzz - when I died
• Go slow, my soul, to feed thyself
• After great pain, a formal feeling comes
• I've seen a dying eye
• At least - to pray - is left - is left
• I went to Heaven
• The first day's night had come
• We dream - it is good we are dreaming
• What if I say I shall not wait!
• That such have died enable us
• Departed - to the judgement.
