Park Benjamin. (1809–1864)

I’m king of the dead—and I make my throne
On a monument slab of marble cold;
And my scepter of rule is the spade I hold:
Come they from cottage or come they from hall,
Mankind are my subjects, all, all, all!
Let them loiter in pleasure or toilfully spin—
I gather them in, I gather them in!

The Old Sexton.

Flowers are Love’s truest language.

Sonnet.
