There is a little, humble tomb,

Not deckt with sculpture's pageant pride,

Nor labour'd verse to tell by whom

The habitant was lov'd who died!

No trophied 'scutcheon marks the grave—

No blazon'd banners round it wave—

'Tis but a simple pile of stones

Rais'd o'er a hapless infant's bones;

Perchance a mother's tears have dew'd

This sepulchre, so frail and rude;—
