Farewell, Life! My Senses Swim, And The World Is Growing Dim; Thronging Shadows Cloud The Light, Like The Advent Of The Night, - Colder, Colder, Colder Still, Upward Steals A Vapor Chill - Strong The Earthy Odor Grows - I Smell The Mould Above The Rose! Welcome, Life! The Spirit Strives! Strength Returns, And Hope Revives; Cloudy Fears And Shapes Forlorn Fly Like Shadows At The Morn, - O'Er The Earth There Comes A Bloom - Sunny Light For Sullen Gloom, Warm Perfume For Vapor Cold - Smell The Rose Above The Mould! February 1845.
