XC and XCI (series of poems from The Pit )

                               XC
 
           Where's   the   worth   for   those   who   died
           While   I   endear   with   fey   of   breath ,
           Wherein   those   who   lived   as   such -
           When   I   was   prior's   birth  of   Death .
           Why   did   morrow   bid   me   sane
           A   cruel   and   unkind   wae   of   thought ,
           To   linger   thus   in   sorrow's   arms -          
           And   fade   to   nought !



                             XCI
            
           Of   those   who   lie   within  inearth
           I   stroll   above   their   ground   below ,
           They   know   not   but   of   nothingness -
           As   I   in   turn   shall   Death   bestow .
           Low   within   the   depths   of   nane
           Unconsciousness  -  Forevermore !
           Wherein   thus   shall    life   succumb
           O   Lucidness !  And   then   go  o'er !
