EPITAPH by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: I LOVED, WAS LOVED. THE PUFF OF SMOKE CALLED LIFE
Last Line: I LIE WHERE I MAY DREAM, NOR DREAM IN VAIN.
Subject(s): DEATH; DREAMS; EPITAPHS; GRAVES; LIFE; LOVE; DEAD, THE; NIGHTMARES; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES;
I LOVED, was loved. The puff of smoke called Life
Could give no more. Nothing but dreams remain.
So, having given over bootless strife,
I lie where I may dream, nor dream in vain.
