Vachel Lindsay - What The Sexton Said
Work rating: Low

   Your dust will be upon the wind
   Within some certain years,
   Though you be sealed in lead to-day
   Amid the country`s tears.
   When this idyllic churchyard
   Becomes the heart of town,
   The place to build garage or inn,
   They`ll throw your tombstone down.
   Your name so dim, so long outworn,
  Your bones so near to earth,
  Your sturdy kindred dead and gone,
  How should men know your worth?

  So read upon the runic moon
  Man`s epitaph, deep-writ.
  It says the world is one great grave.
  For names it cares no whit.

  It tells the folk to live in peace,
  And still, in peace, to die.
  At least, so speaks the moon to me,
  The tombstone of the sky.
