In Fuller’s words

“If thou wouldst stay even as thou art, / All cold and all serene— / I still might press thy silent heart, / And where thy smiles have been. / While even thy chill, bleak corse I have, / Thou seemest still mine own_ / But there—I lay thee in thy grave, / And now _ I am now alone_ / Charles Wolfe”
