TO A BOASTER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The sea shall not cover you
Last Line: And be forgotten.
Subject(s): Earth; Graves; Pride; Sea; World; Tombs; Tombstones; Self-esteem; Self-respect; Ocean


The sea shall not cover you,
The mountains shall not be your tomb.
You shall lie in a small place
Quietly.
For earth has so many to quarter
In her acres
That none shall have more room
For his last rest
Than enough to forget in --
And be forgotten.
