Know he hath nought whereon to rest his head, Now, but the barest stone, Whereon he lies alone, Far from all help ; life, love, and friendship ? fled ! Sound the great bell! He whom ye knew in all his radiant power, The wonder and pageant of an hour, Has bade the world farewell; ... --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
