A GRAVE ON OSSA, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Here too were steadfast men and brave
Last Line: On ossa's mountain way.
Subject(s): Graves; Tombs; Tombstones


HERE too were steadfast men and brave
By dark fate overcome;
Against the spears they stood, to save
The flocks and fields of home.

In fame they live, immortal dead
Who found their rest that day,
Enswathed in sorry dust for bed
On Ossa's mountain way.
