Where They Sleep
T
Lies deep upon the crowded dead
As flooding sea upon the sands,
And quenches starlight overhead.
Has mingled with a nameless mould.
Only the slower-crumbling stones
Still tell so much as may be told.
Like some lone mariner gliding by,
I lean above the drowning graves
And wonder when I too shall lie
And earth will hide my lonely rest;
And Time will bid my love forget
To read the stone upon my breast.
