Last Line: But that's — behind the grave
Subject(s): Shame


There is a Shame of Nobleness -
Confronting Sudden Pelf -
A finer Shame of Ecstasy -
Convicted of Itself -

A best Disgrace - a Brave Man feels -
Acknowledged - of the Brave -
One More - "Ye Blessed" - to be told -
But that's - Behind the Grave
