Falls in floods of cloudless light,

Bathing many a turfy heap

Where the lowlier slumberers sleep;

And the graceful willow waves,

Banner-like, o’er nameless graves:

Here hath prayer arisen like dew,—

Here the earth is holy, too,

Lightly press each grassy mound:

Surely this is hallowed ground.

M. A. Browne.
