Transcendental Sonnet #719:
As I Pass By

Now full two score full two score and nine
Years of my life come and gone and seen
Lived loved and lost in this life of mine
It is what it is what might have been
Has fallen away nor do I weep

For what I have lost for those who sleep
For those who hate me for those who love
For those I broke for those who broke me
For those gone below those gone above
All spokes of the wheel of destiny

Although all who live must surely die
Believe that I did my very best
With no regrets I go to my rest
Now as the wheel turns and I pass by
