He has done with roofs and men,
Open, Time, and let him pass.

These lines read as an epitaph-like appeal to Time to “open” and allow a dead person to pass beyond the human sphere. “Roofs and men” suggests the whole enclosed world of ordinary life—houses, society, daily limits—which the subject has finished with. Addressing Time as a gatekeeper frames death not merely as an end but as a transition, and the imperative “let him pass” carries both tenderness and solemn authority. The compression and ceremonial diction evoke the tradition of lyric memorial verse, where the speaker seeks to dignify mortality by imagining it as release from confinement into a larger, timeless order.
