MY II

A country graveyard, and a long mound lonely lying
Beneath the skies on cloudy days and fair;
And there YOU rest. Love for some years will moan,
Then stranger eyes, your moss-groWn name espying,
Will turn away-not knowing you, how should they care3
Can God forget, thought Then, so long as God remembers
The hearts that followed Honor, veering not
The hearts that loved Right for Rights sake alone
Through all Times Junes and through all Times Decembers,
Dear, unambtious dustI you will not be forgot.

There's a ballad o. quaint love longing
That often l yearn to hear,
For it sets the memories throngiDg
And Wakens q by gone year.
The words were simple and petty,
With q tender final fall,
Yet I swear that this old time dittY
Still holds my heart in thrall.
It was sung by q girl whose fashion
Gan never grow stale nor old:
But she and her young souls passion
T,5e 0uiet in graveyard mould.

Now-bu5 my heart sinks lOg;
