Callum

My

Speaker:

friends,

Speaker:

we

Speaker:

meet

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

sober

Speaker:

dress
To

Speaker:

praise

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

dead,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

manners

Speaker:

press;
He

Speaker:

spoke

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

age

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

easy

Speaker:

grace,
And

Speaker:

made

Speaker:

forever

Speaker:

commonplace.

We

Speaker:

lived

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

seasons,

Speaker:

shore

Speaker:

to shore;
Each

Speaker:

crossing

Speaker:

bought

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

few

Speaker:

months

Speaker:

more.
He

Speaker:

dreamed

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

country

Speaker:

would

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

home,
Where

Speaker:

vows

Speaker:

would end our need to roam.

Speak gently now; the rite is

Speaker:

brief.
The

Speaker:

living

Speaker:

seldom

Speaker:

merit

Speaker:

grief.
The

Speaker:

man

Speaker:

survives.

Speaker:

Beneath

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

stone
There

Speaker:

lie

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

years

Speaker:

we

Speaker:

called

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

own.
