It dont sound so terrible -- quite -- as it did

 It don't sound so terrible -- quite -- as it did --
I run it over -- "Dead", Brain, "Dead.
"
Put it in Latin -- left of my school --
Seems it don't shriek so -- under rule.


Turn it, a little -- full in the face
A Trouble looks bitterest --
Shift it -- just --
Say "When Tomorrow comes this way --
I shall have waded down one Day.
"

I suppose it will interrupt me some
Till I get accustomed -- but then the Tomb
Like other new Things -- shows largest -- then --
And smaller, by Habit --

It's shrewder then
Put the Thought in advance -- a Year --
How like "a fit" -- then --
Murder -- wear!
