Transition
So live that when thy summons comes
To join the innumerable caravan, which
Moves to that mysterious realm where
Each shall take his chamber in the
Silent halls of death.
Thou go not like the quarry slave at
Night, scourged to his dungeon, but,
Sustained and soothed by an unfaltering
Trust, approach thy grave like one who
Wraps the draperies of his couch about
Him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
