The brain's asleep before its time.
I would that thou hadst died outright,
And I had seen thee, in thy prime,
Go half to darkness, half to light!


The Collected Poems of Mary Coleridge (1954)


The brain's asleep before its time. I would that thou hadst died outright, And I had seen thee, in thy prime, Go half to darkness, half to light!

The brain's asleep before its time. I would that thou hadst died outright, And I had seen thee, in thy prime, Go half to darkness, half to light!
