Men of the Male Chorus, St. Paul A.M.E. Church
THANA TOPSIS (A VIEW OF DEATH) A TRIBUTE FROM THE GRANDCHILDREN SEAN, DONNA, SHAUNDRA AND TONY
So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moues
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 drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
- William Cullen Bryant
