Description

Excerpt from The Giddings Family: Or the Descendants of George Giddings, Who Came Form St. Albans, England, to Ipswich, Mass;, In 1635 "The golden sun, The planets, all the infinite host of heaven Are shining on the sad abodes of death Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread The globe are but a handful to the tribes That slumber in its bosom. So shall thou rest, - and what if thou shall fall Unnoticed by the living, and no friend Take note of thy departure? All that breathe Will share thy destiny. So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan that moves To the pale realms of shade, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams."
