     Each hillocked resting-place
     And Summer's roses low incline
     With flushed and dewy face;
     Fair daisies, rayed like stars, shall rise
     From their enhallowed dust,
     And look up to protecting skies,
     With smiles of sunny trust.

     To music wake at their enhallowed birth.
