How little rocks it where men die,
When once the moment s past,
In which the dim and glazing eye
Has looked on earth its last
Whether beneath its sculptured xrn
The coffincd form shall rest,
Or, in its nakedness return
Back to its mot hers breast.
Death is a common friend or foe,

Go-strip this coffin lid away,
And see HMM his grave.

With those we cherish near,
And waited upward, by their signs,
Soar to some calmer sphere;
But, whether on the scaffold high,
Or, in the battles van.
The fittest place where man can die
Is where he dies for mani
