THE MODERN CEMETERY. 
Ill 
The Country Graveyard. 
There’s a graveyard in a city 
Rich in marble, vault and shrine, 
here the deeds of men are blazoned 
In many a fulsome line. 
There the stately, costly granite 
Lifts its head above the sod. 
And amid its cold magnificence 
You are pretty far from God. 
There’s a rustic little graveyard 
In the shadow of the trees. 
And a bird is gently swinging 
On the lazy summer breeze; 
You can walk among the daisies. 
As they peep above the sod. 
And the flowers seem to whisper 
That you’re very close to God. 
'I’raffic does not roar around you, 
And no stately columns rise. 
But stones half-hidden in the grass 
Elude your wary eyes; 
And the bees are in clover 
Where the gentle blossoms nod. 
In the little country graveyard 
You are pretty close to God. 
O! the silence and the beauty 
Where the rural folk repose. 
In the shadow of the cedar 
And beneath the modest rose; 
O! the peace that steals upon you 
O’er the violet sprinkled sod. 
In the little country graveyard. 
That seems so close to God.
