Death & Dying
On a Stone in a Field Given to the Poor by Lucy Lady Nugent
From Heroic Idyls (1863)
Death & Dying
Thou liest within the church's door,
Lucy, thou mother of the poor !
Nugent, my friend from early years,
Freshens this turf with daily tears.
Where many wretches bend the knee
Who were less wretched once thro' thee.
