To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If, then, when my real self to peace ascends Tis sensate, surely it will also grieve That man so ill a compliment extends When o er the house in ignorance he bends. / Lament me not when death doth thus relieve My soul of the contaminated dust; Let no funereal fashions so deceive, Do not to candled superstition cleave, But be rejoiced, e en envious if thou must The tenant s better station ne er distrust. [33] THE OMAR SONNETS T XXIV HE open grave, the silence, and the pall, The cold, the sobs, t...he clodded earth let fall, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, " effaced Forever life and heart and love and all ! Was rendered service then a mocking waste ? Was faith in God and Heaven thru her misplaced ? Was any solace born of sentiment, But hard reality had now erased ? Perhaps he had not given to earth, but lent, Just as a seed which, sown, reclines content, Till resurrection brings the fuller day, His own will come again by angels sent ? If aught the grief e en briefly can allay, Then tell him not that death deprives for aye.
