   To him who in the love of Nature holds
   Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
   A various language; for his gayer hours
   She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
   And eloquence of beauty, and she glides
   Into his darker musings, with a mild
   And healing sympathy, that steals away
   Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts
   Of the last bitter hour come like a blight
   Over thy spirit, and sad images
   Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall,
   And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
   Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart;—
   Go forth, under the open sky, and list
   To Nature’s teachings, while from all around—
   Earth and her waters, and the depths of air—
   Comes a still voice—
   Yet a few days, and thee
   The all-beholding sun shall see no more
   In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground,
   Where thy pale form was laid, with many tears,
   Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist
   Thy image. Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim
   Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again,
   And, lost each human trace, surrendering up
   Thine individual being, shalt thou go
   To mix for ever with the elements,
   To be a brother to the insensible rock
   And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain
   Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak
   Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould.
   Yet not to thine eternal resting-place
   Shalt thou retire alone, nor couldst thou wish
   Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down
   With patriarchs of the infant world—with kings,
   The powerful of the earth—the wise, the good,
   Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past,
   All in one mighty sepulchre. The hills
   Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun,—the vales
   Stretching in pensive quietness between;
   The venerable woods—rivers that move
   In majesty, and the complaining brooks
   That make the meadows green; and, poured round all,
   Old Ocean’s gray and melancholy waste,—
   Are but the solemn decorations all
   Of the great tomb of man. The golden sun,
   The planets, all the infinite host of heaven,
   Are shining on the sad abodes of death,
   Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread
   The globe are but a handful to the tribes
   That slumber in its bosom.—Take the wings
   Of morning, pierce the Barcan wilderness,
   Or lose thyself in the continuous woods
   Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound,
   Save his own dashings—yet the dead are there:
   And millions in those solitudes, since first
   The flight of years began, have laid them down
   In their last sleep—the dead reign there alone.
   So shalt thou rest, and what if thou withdraw
   In silence from the living, and no friend
   Take note of thy departure? All that breathe
   Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh
   When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care
   Plod on, and each one as before will chase
   His favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave
   Their mirth and their employments, and shall come
   And make their bed with thee. As the long train
   Of ages glide away, the sons of men,
   The youth in life’s green spring, and he who goes
   In the full strength of years, matron and maid,
   The speechless babe, and the gray-headed man—
   Shall one by one be gathered to thy side,
   By those, who in their turn shall follow them.
   So live, that when thy summons comes to join
   The innumerable caravan, which moves
   To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
   His chamber in the silent halls of death,
   Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
   Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
   By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
   Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
   About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

      Infamous is coming strapped like an Italian, Arabic, Iraqi, Iranian, South American, Cuban, guerilla colombian, muslim, or subgroup maniac
      Coming to rip your damn head off your neck, put your heart in a bag, then I sprinkle yo ashes heading straight to the headquarters, chief on the blunt of the Indica down in my STASH
      I reside in the insane asylum, the bodies I pile ’em
      On Infamous Island where there is no smiling
      The niggas buck-wilding, the weapons are silenced
      There’s nothing but violence
      Military barbarian, buck ’em and bury ’em
      Fuck with the scarier insanitarium, pallbearer carry ’em
      There’s no merry love, only murder blood
      Then I take something worse
      Out of all of these hollow points burst and disperse
      Going through flesh and bone through the back of your shirt
      You be burnt up and buried in dirt, that’ll work
      The Scarecrow be smokin’ these niggas with shit they can’t get with, these bitches they’ll never compare
      I’m coming from the land of Triple 6, niggas still suffering every day man, I swear
      I see them fuckin’ press, oh no they better lay
      It happens everyday don’t make me grab the gauge
      Dangerously I play, I blast out yo rib cage
      And put ya body in the back of that grey Chevrolet
