"MAY every light-wing'd moment bear A blessing to this noble pair. Long may they love the rural ease Of these fair scenes, and scenes like these; The pine's dark shade, the mountain tall, And the deep dashing water-fall. And when each hallow'd spirit flies To seek a better paradise, Beneath this turf their ashes dear Shall drink their country's grateful tear; In death alike and life possessing, The rich man's love, the poor man's blessing." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DIXIE by DANIEL DECATUR EMMETT IN HARBOR by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE THE FOUNTAIN by MUHAMMAD AL-MU'TAMID II THE BOY AND THE BROOK by LEO ALISHAN TEN YEARS AFTER by JOSEPH AUSLANDER FINITE AND INFINITE by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
