CREWBRAWN by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE

First Line: WHITE CLOUDS THAT CHANGE AND PASS
Last Line: THAT HOLLOWS OUT THE GRAVES.
Subject(s): GRAVES; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES;
WHITE clouds that change and pass,
And stars that shine awhile,
Dew water on the grass,
A fox upon a stile.

A river broad and deep,
A slow boat on the waves,
My sad thoughts on the sleep
That hollows out the graves.
