“They say that the Dead die not, but remain Near to the rich heirs of their grief and mirth. I think they ride the calm mid-heaven, as these, In wise majestic melancholy train, And watch the moon, and the still-raging seas, And men, coming and going on the earth.” ThinkingMenStillsEarthDiesHeavenGriefWatchesRichWiseSeaMoonTrainCalmRageMelancholyHeirsMirthMajestic Book:1914 & Other Poems Source: 1914 & Other Poems
