YE WHO MOURN-, by                    
First Line: Ye who mourn
Last Line: Weep in anguish ... For the dead living.
Subject(s): Lament; Mourning; Soul; Bereavement


Ye who mourn—
Weep not for the dead in flesh
Who live on in spirit.
Lament—
Let fall your tears,
For the dead in spirit
Who live on in flesh.

Lonely, desolate, bereft,
Treading away the years—
Unlovely and unloved,
As they who lose faith in man...
And God!

Ghosts of flesh—
Haunting the highways of life;
Seeking, and never finding
The road to Release.

Ye who mourn—
Weep not for the living Dead.
Lament—
Weep in anguish ... for the dead Living.
