.I have eaten your bread and salt,
I have drunk your water and wine.
The deaths Ye have died I have watched beside,
And the lives Ye led were mine.
……………………………..………Rudyard Kipling

YANKEE REVENANTS
They will come back, the men who plowed these hillsides,
And look across deep valleys burnt by frost;
To see the granite walls about hid meadows
Fallen – their steadfast work of rearing lost.
Seeking old houses their sad souls remember,
Where love, birth, tireless thrift and death were known;
Finding what drew them from beyond sky barriers,
Bleak cellar holes, red sumac overgrown.
We may not see them as they walk beside us,
Along blurred logging tracks that still remain;
But we shall hear them in the muted questing 
Whisper of leaves and sigh of autumns rain.
……………………………………………………. M.E. Baker, 1941

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting,
The soul that rises with us, our life star,
Hath elsewhere had its setting,
And cometh from afar
