An anthem for the queenliest deadthat ever died so young,

A dirge for her, the doubly dead,in that she died so young.

"And when she fell in feeble health,ye blessed her that she died!

"How shall the ritual, then, be read?the requiem how be sung

" By you by yours, the evil eye,by yours, the slanderous tongue

" That did to death the innocencethat died, and died so young?"

The life upon her yellow hair but not within her eyes,The life still there, upon her hair;

the death upon her eyes.

Avaunt ! to-night my heart is light.No dirge will I upraise,

" But waft the angel on her flightwith a Paean of old days!

" Let no bell toll !lest her sweet soul, amid its hallowed mirth,

" Should catch the noteas it doth float up from the damned Earth.

"To friends above, from fiends below,the indignant ghost is riven,

"From Hell unto a high estatefar up within the Heaven,
