Honor the fallen with these Portables of days gone.
The graveyard draws the living still,
But never anymore the dead.

To read the stones and go away
Tomorrow dead will come to stay.”

While lightnings glance,
And thunders rattle loud,
And call the brave
To bloody grave,
To sleep without a shroud.

If aught of him remain unperished still;
And find, in me alone, a feeble spark,
Dying amid the dark.
