Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - Natalia’s Resurrection: Sonnet X
Work rating: Low

But with full daylight finding no relief,
 Though he had spent the newness of his fears
 And looked with altered eyes upon his grief,
 For sorrow often drowses in its tears,
 And men sleep deepest on a wound, he rose
 And taking horse made in all haste for Rome,
 Thinking if thus he might assuage his woes
 By visiting his dead Natalia`s tomb
 And asking of her dear new--buried lips
 What secret thought had been of love and him
 When the world left her in its last eclipse.
 And still in passionate words he made his theme,
 That she was waiting yet to hear his cry:
 ``O my soul`s soul, I did not bid thee die.``
