A description of the experience
Samuel Taylor Coleridge – The Complete Poems
Epitaph on an Infant
Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care;
The opening bud to Heaven conveyed
And bade it blossom there
Westphalian song
When thou to my true love comest
Greet her from me kindly
When she asks thee how I fare
Say, folks in heaven fare finely
When she asks 'What, is he sick?'
Say – dead! - and when for sorrow
She begins to sob and cry,
Say. I come tomorrow.
