Silently to rest

Before we go into the Dust descend 
Dust into Dust, and under Dust to lie 

Before we go into the Dust descend

Dust into Dust, and under Dust to lie 

Alike for those who for To-day prepare

And those that after some To-morrow stare, 
Then . all Children have grown up..

This reviving Herb whose tender Green 
Lean upon it lightly room
For who knows 
From what once lovely Lip it springs unseen
My Beloved fill the glass that clears 
My little girl now grown up, already
My little son now be A Men
To-day Past Regrets and Future Fears: 
Tomorrow
Myself with Yesterday's Seven Thousand Years.

For some we loved, the loveliest and the best 
And one by one crept silently to rest.

They left, and Summer dresses in new bloom 
Ourselves must we beneath the Couch of Earth 

My little girl now grown up, already
