But the tinsel that shone on the dark coffnGd

Or fed with the spirit above:
Friends brothers. and sisters, are laid side BY side
Yet none have saluted, and none have replied

Which compassion itself could relieve
All sweetly they slumber, nor hope, love nor fear
Peace, peace IS the watch-word, the only one here
Unto Death, to whom monarchs must bow
All no for his empire is known,
And here there are trophies enow,
Beneath the cold dead and around the dark stone
Are the signs Of sceptre that none may disown.
