POOR MAN'S GRAVE.
1
Old Andrews of the hut is dead,And many a child appears,
Whilst slowly “dust to dust” is read,
Around his grave in tears.
245
2
A good man gone where small and great,And poor, and high and low,
And Dives, proud in worldly state,
And Lazarus, must go.
3
May we among the just be found,Though short our sojourn here,
Who, when the trump of death shall sound,
May hear it without fear!
