Where are They?

Ye friends of my boyhood,
Where are you to-day?
Passing life's journey
Or out of the way,
Where careworn end weary
You stopped for repose
In that silent slumber
Death only bestows.
Lies labors all ended
It's pleasures all passed,
Secure from its blows
You're anchored at last,
Though storms may arise
Their gathering waves
Sound sad requiem
Ore your silent graves.
There's others to greet US
Where once you have been,
For the crowds ever changing
AS guests at an Inn,
Always faring mortals
Are here for day
The rest all to follow
we're going that way.
But where those fond spirits?
We each loved so we'll
Are they still about US?
Alas who can tell,
If gone to the giver
Where he is they are,
And may linger near us
For Gods everywhere.
