Here buried side by side
We long have waited with between us two
A place for you.
The Powers of Darkness tried
To chill our hearts to ashes; but behold
They grew not cold.
You journey far and wide;
Our eyes were on you till they turned your way
To where we lay.
Henceforth, all fate defied,
Our kindred dust commingling, three in one-
We slumber, son.
