Alternate Author Name(s): Johnson Of Boone, Benj. F.
Subject(s): Farewell; Gossip; Graves; Parting; Tombs; Tombstones
THEY walk here with us, hand in hand;
We gossip, knee by knee;
They tell us all that they have planned --
Of all their joys to be, --
And, laughing, leave us: And, to-day,
All desolate we cry
Across wide waves of voiceless graves --
Good-by! Good-by! Good-by!
