After Death nothing is, and nothing Death
When I put out to sea

I died for Beauty
Speak! if our souls in deathless yearnings meet;
Answer me, answer me!

And Immortality.
She sinks in death ⎯ th’ astonish’d soul, dismay’d,
Bursts thro’ the doors of life, and seeks more friendly skies.
To die, to sleep—
To sleep—perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub!
