Classic and Contemporary Poetry

EULOGY by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: BETTER THAN ALL THE TOMBSTONES' GLOSSES SLEEK
Last Line: GIVE ME WARM MENTION ON THE LIPS OF MEN.
Subject(s): GRIEF; LIPS; TEARS; SORROW; SADNESS;
BETTER than all the tombstones' glosses sleek,
One tear wiped secretly from sorrow's cheek;
Instead of marble complimentings then,
Give me warm mention on the lips of men.
