<h3> <SPAN name="mourn"></SPAN> MOURN NOT THE DEAD </h3>
<p class="poem">
Mourn not the dead that in the cool earth lie—<br/>
Dust unto dust—<br/>
The calm, sweet earth that mothers all who die<br/>
As all men must;<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
Mourn not your captive comrades who must dwell—<br/>
Too strong to strive—<br/>
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell,<br/>
Buried alive;<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
But rather mourn the apathetic throng—<br/>
The cowed and the meek—<br/>
Who see the world's great anguish and its wrong<br/>
And dare not speak!<br/></p>
