The treasured names their own are added on
To those whom they have followed long ago:
Sealing the record of the tears they shed,
That ’where their treasure there their hearts are fled.’
Grandfather, father, son, and then again
Child, grandchild, and great-grandchild laid beneath,
Numbered in turn among the sons of men,
And gathered each one in his turn to death:
While he that occupies their house and name
To-day,—to-morrow too their grave shall claim.
