 THE BURIAL

C J. Rhodes, buried in the Matoppos,

April 10, 1902

that great Kings return to clay,

Or Emperors in their pride,

Grief of a day shall fill a day,

Because its creature died.

But we—we reckon not with those

Whom the mere Fates ordain,

This Power that wrought on us and goes

Back to the Power again.

Dreamer devout, by vision led

Beyond our guess or reach,

The travail of his spirit bred

Cities in place of speech. 63
