Epitaph
Our loved ones lay them down to sleep And leave us here to grieve and mourn, While we, our silent watches keep, O'er their low graves whence they are bourne. Some heroes are in battle slain, Their names are honored far and near, While others die on beds of pain And no sad mourner sheds a tear. This day we honor each and all Whose soul has left its temporal case; And be he great, or be he small, We'll reverence his resting place.
