THEY lie with upraised hands and feet	A
Stretched like dead feet that walk no more	B
And stony masks oft human sweet	A
As if the olden look each wore	B
Familiar curves of lip and eye	C
Were wrought by some fond memory	D
	-
All waiting the new coffined dead	E
The handful of mere dust that lies	F
Sarcophagused in stone and lead	E
Under the weight of centuries	G
Knight cardinal bishop abbess mild	H
With last week's buried year old child	H
	-
After the tempest cometh peace	I
After long travail sweet repose	J
These folded palms these feet that cease	I
From any motion are but shows	J
Of what What rest How rest they Where	K
The generations naught declare	K
	-
Dark grave unto whose brink we come	L
Drawn nearer by all nights and days	M
Each after each thy solemn gloom	N
We pierce with momentary gaze	M
Then go unwilling or content	O
The way that all our fathers went	O
	-
Is there no voice or guiding hand	P
Arising from the awful void	Q
To say 'Fear not the silent land	P
Would He make aught to be destroyed	Q
Would He or can He What know we	D
Of Him who is Infinity	D
	-
Strong Love which taught us human love	R
Helped us to follow through all spheres	S
Some soul that did sweet dead lips move	T
Lived in dear eyes in smiles and tears	U
Love once so near our flesh allied	V
That 'Jesus wept' when Lazarus died	V
	-
Eagle eyed Faith that can see God	W
In worlds without and heart within	X
In sorrow by the smart o' the rod	W
In guilt by the anguish of the sin	X
In everything pure holy fair	K
God saying to man's soul 'I am there'	K
	-
These only twin archangels stand	P
Above the abyss of common doom	N
These only stretch the tender hand	P
To us descending to the tomb	N
Thus making it a bed of rest	Y
With spices and with odors drest	Y
	-
So like one weary and worn who sinks	Z
To sleep beneath long faithful eyes	F
Who asks no word of love but drinks	Z
The silence which is paradise	A2
We only cry 'Keep angelward	Y
And give us good rest O good Lord '	-
