A light of laughing flowers along the grass is spread.

"And gray walls moulder round, on which dull time

Feeds like slow fire upon a hoary brand:

And one keen pyramid, with wedge sublime,

Pavilioning the dust of him who planned

This refuge for his memory, doth stand

Like flame transformed to marble; and beneath

A field is spread, on which a newer band

Have pitched, in heaven's smile, their camp of death,

Welcoming him we lose, with scarce extinguished breath.
