Sweet-safe-Houses-
Glad-gay-Houses-
Sealed so stately tight-
Lids of Steel-on Lids of Marble-
Locking Bare feet out-
Brooks of Plush-in Banks of Satin
Not so softly fall
As the laughter-and the whisper-
From their People Pearl-
No Bald Death-affront their Parlors-
No Bold Sickness come
To deface their Stately Treasures-
Anguish-and the Tomb-
Hum by-in Muffled Coaches-
Lest they-wonder Why-
Any-for the Press of Smiling-
Interrupt-to die-
Sweet'safe'houses
