Francis Turner Palgrave. (1824–1897)

    Time’s corrosive dewdrop eats
  The giant warrior to a crust
  Of earth in earth and rust in rust.

A Danish Barrow.

      Let the children play
  And sit like flowers upon thy grave
  And crown with flowers,—that hardly have
A briefer blooming-tide than they.

A Danish Barrow.
