Mourn not the dead that in the cool earth lie--<br />Dust unto dust--<br />The calm, sweet earth that mothers all who die<br />As all men must;<br /><br />Mourn not your captive comrades who must dwell--<br />Too strong to strive--<br />Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell,<br />Buried alive;<br /><br />But rather mourn the apathetic throng--<br />The cowed and the meek--<br />Who see the world's great anguish and its wrong<br />And dare not speak!
