OF death which comes unfailingly to all

~ ever the best you'll always find these.
Now, this sad duty we all must confess
Is best done where it's special business.
Careful and complete are their facilities,
Known and acknowledged their abilities
Each thing we need they re ready to supply
Living-our furniture-or, if we die,
Undertaking our burial, they'll promptly
Needful attention to all our friends say.
Depending on this they will be the choice
Executors to make the mOurners rejoice.
Regarding both the dead and those who
live
They cheertuly accord all they can give,
And to their desires do ever attend
Knowing themselves as the mourners' true
friend.
Even amid sorrow great joys they impart-
Real and true-to the sad, desolate heart
Sadder as nearer the friend with whom
we part.
Much as we love life, yet still we must die,
And the mystery of the next to try.
Inthis sad time our friends may do farworse
Neglecting to employ the nice, fine Hearse
Specially devised to show lawful pride
To all the friends of the one who has
died.
