Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Evening Revery in the Cemetery at Woodlawn
Thou strifeless, silent village of the dead, I sometimes love along thy paths to stroll, And pause where stately oaks their branches spread, To read upon some shaft the lettered scroll.
Ev'n there a pride of conquest still observe ln pillared monuments of sculptured stone, The last expiring effort to preserve A name, if only that and that alone.et, on yon hillside, where unnumbered dead in nameless narrow confines thickly lie, All might as well be lain, their names unreadm No tomb the wreck of time can e'er defy.
