XLI. THE FORGOTTEN GRAVE.

AFTER a hundred years Nobody knows the place,- Agony, that enacted there, Motionless as peace.

Weeds triumphant ranged, Strangers strolled and spelled At the lone orthography Of the elder dead.

Winds of summer fields Recollect the way,- Instinct picking up the key Dropped by memory.
