THE DEAD PARISH
Tarrying in Great
Auspiciousness Street
I saw afar in what hidden
way
The lovely tombstones rise
Against plate jewels
apartments coronets;
Patents of honour titles precedents.
And farther off the
spearmint prince,
Dying of thirst beside the
fountain:
Where there the state
functionary
Charges a subject in the golden
orange yellow
Crepuscular prospect: those trees
on a rising bank.
That composition of place,
incarnadine;
Or round about in mountain
meadows,
Where they, the mistaken
lying and deceived,
Could not suppress this
side of it.
