I remember rooms that have had their part
In the steady slowing down of the heart.
______ room in Paris, the room at Geneva,
The ______ damp room with the seaweed smell,
And that ______ maddening sound of the tide—
Rooms where ______ good or for ill—things died.
But there is ______ room where we (two) lie dead,
Though every ______ we seem to wake and might just as well ______ to sleep again
As we shall somewhere ______ the other quieter, dustier bed
Out there ______ the sun—in the rain.
