“I dreamt the past was never past redeeming:
But whether this was false or honest dreaming
I beg death's pardon now. And mourn the dead.”

Richard Wilbur (1921–2017) American poet

The Pardon
Context: I started in to cry and call his name,
Asking forgiveness of his tongueless head.

But whether this was false or honest dreaming
I beg death's pardon now. And mourn the dead.
