REQUIESCAT by FRANK FREDERICK CLOUSER

First Line: HER GRAVE LIES HIGH WHERE WIND AND SUN
Last Line: YET WHO IS BLESSED, SHE OR WE?
Subject(s): EPITAPHS;

Her grave lies high where wind and sun
Can play without frustration;
And lads and maids when work is done
Stroll by in youth's elation.
But we to wind and sun are veiled
And droop at times with yearning;
Nor catch young voices bravely hailed
To life with quick discerning.
We grieve that death in her must be,
Yet who is blessed, she or we?
