Death: Or Medorus' Dream (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Death: Or Medorus' Dream

Death;

or,

Medorus' Dream.

"How sad the wan and melancholy hour,
When wintry night creeps o'er the dark'ning sky,
While the dull whisper of the gathering gale
Strikes like an omen on the shuddering soul!
So Death, with his chill breath, and bony hand
Press'd on the sinking heart, from our dim sense
Shuts out the fading world, until the Tomb,
With its dread shadows, steals upon the scene,
Where Hope lies buried in sepulchral gloom,
And Joy shall be no more.
