Lie the marvellous preacher's bones.

No saintly honors to them are shown,

No sign nor miracle have they known;

But he who passes the ancient church

Stops in the shade of its belfry-porch,

And ponders the wonderful life of him

Who lies at rest in that charnel dim.

Long shall the traveller strain his eye

From the railroad car, as it plunges by,

And the vanishing town behind him search
