rude, and friendships hands have fingered

Oh, how thoughts hover around such places,
and travel back through unmeaSured space
to visit them. But of all the spots on this
green enrth, none is so sacred as that where
rests, waiting the resurrection, those we hare
once loved and cherished-our brothers, or
our children. Hence, in all ages. the better
part of mankind have chosen and loved spots
of the dead; and on these spots they have
loved to wander at eventide, to mediate
