'All those who stood there could distinctly hear A quiet voice emerge from where I lay: The voice was mine, my past; prophetic words That sounded now, unsullied by decay: ' - The stanza that I liked most, of all!

I'd dreamt I saw you coming one by one / Across the wood to wish me your farewell.- - -Simple words to paint such a strong picture

Extremely fantastic portrayal of nature and a narrative dedicated to the afflictions of the past. Thanks.
