William Cullen Bryant - "No Man Knoweth his Sepulchre"William Cullen Bryant - "No Man Knoweth his Sepulchre"
Work rating: Low


When he, who, from the scourge of wrong,   Aroused the Hebrew tribes to fly, Saw the fair region, promised long,   And bowed him on the hills to die; God made his grave, to men unknown,   Where Moab`s rocks a vale infold, And laid the aged seer alone   To slumber while the world grows old. Thus still, whene`er the good and just   Close the dim eye on life and pain, Heaven watches o`er their sleeping dust   Till the pure spirit comes again. Though nameless, trampled, and forgot,   His servant`s humble ashes lie, Yet God has marked and sealed the spot,   To call its inmate to the sky.
