JULES RAOUL DUBOIS by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: HERE SLEEPS A FRENCHMAN: WOULD I COULD
Last Line: ONE WORD WERE ALL SUFFICIENT -- PEACE!
Subject(s): EPITAPHS;

Here sleeps a Frenchman: Would I could
Grave in his language on this wood
His many virtues, grace and wit!
But then who'd read what I had writ?
Nay, when the tongues of Babel cease,
One word were all sufficient -- Peace!
