THE GRAVES.

The Prophet at Medina
Passed by a burial place,
And toward the graves about him
He turned his gracious face.
With mounds the ground was swollen,
Like ocean with its waves;
“Peace be to you!” his prayer was,
“O people of the graves!
May the Most High forgive you!
May He forgive us, too;
You have gone on before us,
And we are following you.”
