HIS SON by CALLIMACHUS

First Line: BUT TWELVE SHORT YEARS YOU LIVED, MY SON
Last Line: (G. B. GRUNDY)
Subject(s): DEATH; SONS; DEAD, THE;
BUT twelve short years you lived, my son,
Just twelve short years, and then you died:
And now your life's brief course is run,
This grave a father's hopes doth hide.
