Hath gained his noontide height, this churchyard, filled

With mounds[466] transversely lying side by side

From east to west, before you will appear

An unillumined, blank, and dreary, plain,[467]

With more than wintry cheerlessness and gloom

Saddening the heart. Go forward, and look back;

Look,[468] from the quarter whence the lord of light,

Of life, of love, and gladness doth dispense

His beams; which, unexcluded in their fall,

Upon the southern side of every grave
