Could that sweet Darkness where they dwell
Be once disclosed to us
The clamor for their loveliness
Would burst the Loneliness —
Could that sweet Darkness where they dwell

If it were possible for the realm of the dead—that sweet darkness—to be disclosed, there would be a clamoring for wonders of that glorified state that would subdue the loneliness we feel for the departed.
Is this an accurate explication for this poem? I am not certain, but I feel that it is plausible.
I would appreciate a response.
