Explore "Elegiac Stanzas on the Death of Sir Peter Parker, Bart" by Lord Byron on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There is a tear for all that die, / A mourner o'er the humblest grave; / But nations swell the funeral cry, / And Triumph weeps above the brave.
For them is Sorrow's purest sigh O'er / Ocean's heaving bosom sent: / In vain their bones unburied lie, / All earth becomes their monument!
