EPITAPH by ROBERT SILLIMAN HILLYER

First Line: HERE BY THIS QUIET POOL
Last Line: CALLING HIS PRINCESS.
Subject(s): EPITAPHS;

Here by this quiet pool,
Under the quiet sun,
Frema remembers
How rose the beautiful
Lord from oblivion,
Flame from the embers.

She dreams in light among
Legions of mortals whom
Darkness convinces;
Dreams, till she hear the young
Prince by her lonely tomb
Calling his Princess.
