cApostrophe to the Skull Dii ' ayinij sanctuary crumbliny io ilie Dust TInonc room to the lony departed Soul It ' ial -varagies of I ' irtue or of Lust ll ' illiin your recent confines did you Iloldf Jl ' liat conquest fought or lost or Won — What o ' er mastering love or burning hate, Unspoken still, consumed itself to ash L ' pon the altars of your erstichile state? It ' hn knoii;s, hut in these fast decaying walls There once held sivay the superhuman mind, If hich knew, thru its mysterious conjuries. The secret thoughts denied the Human Kind? If hat of -visions fair and beautiful Did these now sightless orbs decry; ll ' liat sordid liuman frailties came Within the compass of tlie busy eye? irhat falsehoods uttered then: what truths Enunciated by the clamorous tongue, That once within these silent caverns vast, Unguarded and vociferously rungf ••Rut, all these have fled. The secrets held Impriioned within your crumbling vaults, I ' ass unlearned — zvere they so pregnant then It ' ith potential charities or faults ' ' •.hid then If ' earied. Life passes on — the while Grim Death and dissolution and Decay Consumed the vibrant flesli and loosed Tlic shackled and imprisoned soul astray. Sic transit gloria mundi — and so ive all Cast from this weak imperfect Flesh decay And are hurled info eternity ' s myriad years. Of which our little life is but a Day. And thou art left alone, O ' Skull — untenanted Save by the squirming denizens of the sod — A gruesome symbol of Man ' s transitory state, .Lnd ,mute evidence of the Omnipresent God: An Alumnus. 24-6
