darkness died full honor ladder leaves millions round stepped top weep
Let us weep in our darkness, but weep not for him!Not for him who, departing, leaves millions in tears!Not for him who has died full of honor and years!Not for him who ascended Fame's ladder so high:From the round at the top he has stepped to the sky.
angels glorious light walk walls
What is ambition? It is a glorious cheat! Angels of light walk not so dazzlingly the sapphire walls of heaven.
