UNITED by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: HERE BURIED SIDE BY SIDE
Last Line: WE SLUMBER, SON.
Subject(s): GRAVES; TOGETHERNESS; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES;

Here buried side by side
We long have waited with between us two
A place for you.

The powers of darkness tried
To chill our hearts to ashes; but behold,
They grew not cold.

You journey far and wide;
Our eyes were on you till they turned your way
To where we lay.

Henceforth, all fate defied,
Our kindred dust commingling, three in one --
We slumber, son.
