They built his mound of the rough red groundA
By the dip of a desert dellB
Where all things sweet are killed by the heatC
And scattered o'er flat and fellB
In a burning zone they left him aloneD
Past the uttermost western plainE
And the nightfall dim heard his funeral hymnF
In the voices of wind and rainE
-
The songs austere of the forests drearG
And the echoes of clift and caveH
When the dark is keen where the storm hath beenI
Fleet over the far away graveH
And through the days when the torrid raysJ
Strike down on a coppery gloomK
Some spirit grieves in the perished leavesL
Whose theme is that desolate tombK
-
No human foot or paw of bruteM
Halts now where the stranger sleepsN
But cloud and star his fellows areG
And the rain that sobs and weepsN
The dingo yells by the far iron fellsO
The plover is loud in the rangeP
But they never come near to the slumberer hereG
Whose rest is a rest without changeP
-
Ah in his life had he mother or wifeQ
To wait for his step on the floorG
Did beauty wax dim while watching for himF
Who passed through the threshold no moreG
Doth it trouble his head He is one with the deadR
He lies by the alien streamsS
And sweeter than sleep is death that is deepT
And unvexed by the lordship of dreamsS
