| Where They Sleep |
| | | G. O. Warren |
| |
| |
| THE FOG inrolling, dark and still | |
| Lies deep upon the crowded dead | |
| As flooding sea upon the sands, | |
| And quenches starlight overhead. | |
| |
| Long have they slept. Their separate dust | 5 |
| Has mingled with a nameless mould. | |
| Only the slower-crumbling stones | |
| Still tell so much as may be told. | |
| |
| And now in shoreless fog adrift | |
| Like some lone mariner gliding by, | 10 |
| I lean above the drowning graves | |
| And wonder when I too shall lie | |
| |
| Where evermore the tides of night | |
| And earth will hide my lonely rest; | |
| And Time will bid my love forget | 15 |
| To read the stone upon my breast. | |
