him only to love him, or speak of him but
To praise him. His bereaved parents and

as the whole community.
We placed him in the graveyard
Beside his brother dear
Whom we thought il very hard
We should inter him there.
He lies beneath the green son,
His soul has fell on high;
II now lives with his God
Where il can never die.
Grief and sorrow have We none,
Nor do you dare 10 mourn,
But live as he has done,
And dying, go where he has gone.
