This Living Hand, Now Warm and Capable

This living hand, now warm and capable 

Of earnest grasping, would, if it were cold 

And in the icy silence of the tomb, 

So haunt thy days and chill thy dreaming nights 

That thou wouldst wish thine own heart dry of blood 

So in my veins¹ red life might stream again, 

And thou be conscience-calm'd- see here it is- 

I hold it towards you. - -
