At the door of deaths other kingdom

A little while outlast the tears
And hold us in derision.”

Some brightness to hold in trust,
Some final innocence
To save from dust;”

Or fly up, and revolve it all slowly
I kill where I please because it is all mine.

My manners are tearing off heads
The allotment of death.”
