Poems of Nature (Whittier)/Illustration 15
_-_plate_16.png)
The Old Burying-Ground.
The dreariest spot in all the land
To Death they set apart;
With scanty grace from Nature's hand,
And none from that of Art.
To Death they set apart;
With scanty grace from Nature's hand,
And none from that of Art.
A winding wall of mossy stone,
Frost-flung and broken, lines
A lonesome acre thinly grown
With grass and wandering vines.
The Old Burying-Ground.
Frost-flung and broken, lines
A lonesome acre thinly grown
With grass and wandering vines.
The Old Burying-Ground.
