The 1830 version of this poem:
Safe in their Alabaster Chambers —
Untouched by Morning
And untouched by Noon —
Sleep the meek members of the Resurrection —
Rafter of satin,
And Roof of stone.
Light laughs the breeze
In her Castle above them —
Babbles the Bee in a stolid Ear,
Pipe the Sweet Birds in ignorant cadence —
Ah, what sagacity perished here!
The 1886 version:
Safe in their Alabaster Chambers —
Untouched by Morning
And untouched by Noon —
Lie the meek members of the Resurrection —
Rafter of satin- And Roof of stone!
Grand go the years-in the crescent- above them-
Worlds scoop their arcs-
And Firmaments- row-
Diadems- drop- and Doges- surrender-
Soundless as dots- on a Disc of Snow-
