Have a Blessed Memorial Day

Yon marble minstrel’s voiceless stone

In deathless song shall tell,

When many a vanquished ago has flown,

The story how ye fell;

Nor wreck, nor change, nor winter’s blight,

Nor Time’s remorseless doom,

Shall dim one ray of glory’s light

That gilds your deathless tomb.
