No human eye can read; or what that life

May yet bring forth. Then let us judge ourselves,

And looking round on things that make us mourn,

Console our spirits with the glorious truth

Christ hath not died in vain! Though in the grave

The spirit lies not, and the form of clay

Is soon dispersed amid the elements,

Yet in the church-yard, or the place of tombs,

Fraught with mementos of the ancient past,

Our thought is strengthened, and the links re-bound
