Thomas William Parsons, The Sculptor's Funeral
“ Himself in marble and in brass; Yet his best monument did raise, Not in those perishable things That men eternal deem,-- The pride of palaces and kings,-- But in such works as must avail him there, With Him who, from the extreme Love that was in his breast, Said, "Come, all ye that heavy burdens bear, And I will give you rest!" This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
