Among The Tombs

Topics: classic

She is a lady fair and wise,         Her heart her counsel keeps,     And well she knows of time that flies         And tide that onward sweeps;     But still she sits with restless eyes         Where Memory sleeps---         Where Memory sleeps.     Ye that have heard the whispering dead         In every wind that creeps,     Or felt the stir that strains the lead         Beneath the mounded heaps,     Tread softly, ah! more softly tread         Where Memory sleeps---         Where Memory sleeps.
