Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams."

The following or some other appropriate hymn may be used:
Friend after friend departs;
Who hath not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts,
