She was dead. Forth went the word, / And every creature heard. / To the last hamlet in the farthest lands, / To people countless as the sands / Of primal seas.
And with the word so sent / Her life's full record went,- / Of what fair line, how gifted, how endowed, / How educated; and then, told aloud, / The splendid tale of what her life had done; / And all the people heard and felt as one; / Exulting all together in their dead, / And the grand story of the life she led.
