| FOUR graves there are upon the wooded crest, | |
| Each one a shrine to pilgrims ever dear. | |
| Uncovered, mute, are those who tarry here. | |
| Romance’s dreaming master lies at rest | |
| Beneath the cedars. Near is one whose breast | 5 |
| Held Mother Nature’s lore. Beyond, the seer | |
| And sage. There, one who saw her duty clear, | |
| Her name by little men and women blessed. | |
| |
| Four friends who walked in Concord’s pleasant ways | |
| Long years ago. They dwelt and worked apart, | 10 |
| But now the world has crowned them with its bays, | |
| And holds them close forever to its heart. | |
| O, sacred hill! There Genius, guarding stays, | |
| And from its slopes shall never Love depart! | |
