-ACTIVE PALLBEARERSNEPHEWS OF THE DECEASED
When all is done, and my last word is said, And ye who loved me murmer, "She is dead," Let not one weep, for fear that I should know, And sorrow too that ye should sorrow so. When all is done, and in the ozzing clay, Ye lay this cast-off hull of mine away, Pray not for me, for after long despair The quiet of the grave will be a prayer. : When all is done, say not my day is oer, And that thru night, I seek a dimmer shore, Say rather that my morn has just begun, I greet the dawn, and not the setting sun? When all is done.
