AWAKENING by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: DO THEY THAT SLEEP, O BLOSSOMS, YEARN
Last Line: AND SEE US WITH YOUR EYES?
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;
DO they that sleep, O Blossoms, yearn,
When ye from them to us return,
Again with you to rise?
Or do they in your quickening breath
Speak to us from the shades of death,
And see us with your eyes?
