“With the holders holding my hand nearing the call of the bird,
Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep, for the dead I loved so well,
For the sweetest, wisest soul of all my days and

Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul,
There in the fragrant pines and the cedars dusk and dim.”
