The Disturbing Poet.

•“There is no death," the poet said, "What men Call death is only sleep; The husband whom you mourn as dead But lies in slumber sweet and deep”

The widow heard the poet speak And wonder seemed to fill her eyes; A tear dried on her dimpled cheek. She sighed some very soulful sighs.

“Not dead? Not dead?" she said at last; “Ah. sir, why will you scare me thus? The courts have thrice within the past Objected to divorcing us.”
