Oh! Breathe Not His Name

Title:     Oh! Breathe Not His Name
Author: Thomas Moore [More Titles by Moore]

Oh! breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade,
Where cold and unhonored his relics are laid:
Sad, silent, and dark, be the tears that we shed,
As the night-dew that falls on the grass o'er his head.
But the night-dew that falls, tho' in silence it weeps,
Shall brighten with verdure the grave where he sleeps;
And the tear that we shed, tho' in secret it rolls,
Shall long keep his memory green in our souls.

[The end]
Thomas Moore's poem: Oh! Breathe Not His Name
