TAPERS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Those tapers, which we set upon the grave
Last Line: So live in heaven, in everlasting light.


Those Tapers, which we set upon the grave,
In fun'rall pomp, but this importance have;
That soules departed are not put out quite;
But, as they walk't here in their vestures white,
So live in Heaven, in everlasting light.
