Robert Browning - AfterRobert Browning - After
Work rating: Medium


Take the cloak from his face, and at first  Let the corpse do its worst! How he lies in his rights of a man!  Death has done all death can. And, absorbed in the new life he leads,  He recks not, he heeds Nor his wrong nor my vengeance; both strike  On his senses alike, And are lost in the solemn and strange  Surprise of the change. Ha, what avails death to erase  His offence, my disgrace? I would we were boys as of old  In the field, by the fold: His outrage, God`s patience, man`s scorn  Were so easily borne! I stand here now, he lies in his place:  Cover the face!
