Burial Stones

Topics: classic

The blue sky arches wide     From hill to hill;     The little grasses stand     Upright and still.     Only these stones to tell     The deadly strife,     The all-important schemes,     The greed for life.     For they are gone, who fought;     But still the skies     Stretch blue, aloof, unchanged,     From rise to rise.
