from Requiescat

Her life was turning, turning,

        In mazes of heat and sound.

But for peace her soul was yearning,

        And now peace laps her round.

Her cabined, ample spirit

        It fluttered and failed for breath.

To-night it doth inherit

        The vasty halls of death.

– Matthew Arnold (1853)
