Will it lean forward as I turn to go?

To us the final aggregate is one,
One with a name, one transferred to the blest;
And though another stoops and takes the gun,
We cannot add the second to the first.”

For a large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.”
