Old Cemetery.

‘Give rest with the just,
o our Saviour, unto Thy servants’

Old cemetery, place of peace
Memorial of thoughts.
The sun is rising in the East
Revealing singing birds.

Old cemetery, place most people dread –
The altar to the past.
Yesterday’s beauty of the world
Is turning here to dust.

Old cemetery, 'castle of the dead'
Of sleeping chambers lanes.
Those who have finished this life’s quest,
Are welcome here to rest.

Old cemetery, place of peace
Of guardian angels rows.
The Son is rising in the East
Revealing singing souls.
