NOT DEAD, BUT GONE BEFORE by ANTIPHANES

First Line: MOURNING YOUR DEAREST FRIENDS, BE WISE IN GRIEF
Last Line: TO LODGE TOGETHER FOR THE REST OF TIME.
Subject(s): MOURNING; BEREAVEMENT;
MOURNING your dearest friends, be wise in grief.
They are not dead, but on that single road
Which all are bound to travel, gone before.
We too, in after days, shall overtake them;
One road-house shall receive us, entered in
To lodge together for the rest of time.
