Read and Correct the Extract

Porphyria sat her down by me; and, all her head, In one long yellow string, I wound, Three times her little throat around, And strangled her. No pain felt she; I am quite sure she felt no pain. As she was mine, mine, fair; And, with my, brain, she did not feel the pain. And I, untie her hat, and let her hair fall, And all in vain; I could not see her face, and yet I knew her face was there, and her eyes, and her mouth. I looked upon her, and she was dead; her cheek was cold, her eye was fixed, and her lips were pale, like a white rose, and I was happy.
