Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
Subject(s): Epitaphs


See now, if thou have any heed
For thine own soul, now hence make speed!
Here in this waste of briar and thorn
Sojourns one hungry and forlorn,
Self-murdered, unassoiled, unshriven,
Haunting these shades twixt Earth and Heaven.
O get thee gone; no biding make;
Lest the Unsleeping find the Wake!
