UNKNOWN GRAVE. 219 THE UNKNOWN GRAVE. By Adelaide Anxe Proctor. No name to Lid us know Who rests below,j^o Avord of deatli or birth ; Only the grasses waveOver a mound of earth, Over a nameless grave. Did this poor wandering heart In pain depart ? —Lono-iiiSi but all too late. For the calm home a;;^ain,Where patient watchers wait And still Avill wait in vain ? Did mourners come in scorn, And thus forlorn,Leave him with trrief and shame To silence and decav.And hide tlie tarnished name Of the unconscious claj ? It may be from his side His loved ones died.And last of some bright band, (Together now once more,)He souoht his home, the land Where thej were gone before. 220 MOUNT AUBURN. No matter — limes have made As cool a shade,And lingering breezes pass As tenderly and slow,As if beneath the grass, A monarch slept below. No grief, though loud and deepCould stir that sleep ; And earth and heaven tellOf rest that shall not cease, When the cold worlds farewellFades Into endless peace.
