TRIOLET by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: OH THE WORLD WAS RICH LAST NIGHT
Last Line: BUT IT DID AWAKE SO POOR!
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;

OH the world was rich last night,
But it did awake so poor;—
Stars gone out in dreary light.
Oh the world was rich last night!
Dawn has spread the dazzling height
Such a low and cloudy floor.
Oh the world was rich last night,
But it did awake so poor!
