She would not turn or hear; / But with averted face went on her way. / But when pale Death, all featureless and grim, / Lifted his bony hand, and beckoning / Held out his cypress-wreath, she followed him, / And Love was left forlorn and wondering, / That she who for his bidding would not stay, / At Death's first whisper rose and went away. / RIVALS.
