In serried file 'neath whitewashed slabs, The silent dead of the pri8011 sleep. All ill vain were their anguished prayers, In vain were the scalding tears they shed; They drank the cup to its hitter dregs, And their forms were laid with the convict dead. No tender hand to assuage the pain; No Joving kiss when the end was nigh; No saddened voice in a last farewell; And with dirth of these it was hard to die. No marbled tomb nor sculptured urn To tell what battles through life they fought, lust a number less on the prison roll, A soul effaced from the realms of thought. And where was the profit, whose the gain When these wrecks were shattered on the reef? Ye "holier than thou" with pious mien- Do these desolate graves bring you sweet relief? Know ye not that perchance some future day A boyish hand from thine own may slip, Never to nestle in thy palm again, Whose feet to a grave like this may trip? Were these erring lives all lived in vain, Whose only goal was a grave of shame? Were they destined thus by Fate's decree? Then whose the fault, and where the blame? Drifting about like derelicts, With rudder broken and mainmast gone, Flying a lIignal of dire distres!t- Fighting the tide that was driving them on. Theirs were souls in the making yet, With the deeper lessons of life unlearned; The chords of their hearts were still untouched, The passions of youth in their breasts still burned. They gave no thought to the Universe, They heard no hint of God's great plan- By most its thought all their hard lives taught Was Man's Inhumanity to Man. May these desolate graves on this lonely hill Serve as mile· posts along the way, Revealing the needs of our fellowmen, Guiding us on to that future day When the Children of Earth, standing hand in hand, Shall drink at the Fountain of Truth, and see The Glorious Dawn so long foretold-- The Brotherhood of Humanity.
