C. J. RHODES, buried in the Matoppos, / April 10, 1902
When that great Kings return to clay, / Or Emperors in their pride, / Grief of a day shall fill a day, / Because its creature died. / But we -- we reckon not with those / Whom the mere Fates ordain, / This Power that wrought on us and goes / Back to the Power again.
