I heard a Fly buzz---when I died---
The stillness in the Room
Was like the Stillness in the Air---
Between the Heaves of Storm---

The Eyes around---had wrung them dry--
And Breaths were gathering firm
For that last Onset---when the King
Be witnessed---in the Room---

I willed my Keepsakes---Signed away
What portion of me be
Assignable---and then it was
There interposed a Fly---

With Blue---uncertain stumbling Buzz---
Between the light--and me---
And then the Windows failed---and then
I could not see to see---
