Death & Dying
Rintho's Grave
Translated by Rennell Rodd (1916) · From Love, Worship and Death (1916)
Death & Dying
Give me a hearty laugh, and say
A friendly word and go thy way.
Rintho was I of Syracuse,
A modest song bird of the muse,
Whose tears and smiles together sown
Have born an ivy all my own.
