From the grave where I so oft<br>Have stood, 'mid ruined Rome,<br>I seem to hear a whisper soft<br>Wafted across the foam;<br>Bidding justest wrath be still,<br>Good feel lovingly for ill,<br>As exiles for rough paths that help them to their home.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Alfred+Austin">Alfred Austin</a><div class=q>

Death-stricken from behind,
O heart of hearts! and they were men,
That rent thee from mankind!
Greedy hatred chasing love,
As a hawk pursues a dove,
Till the soft feathers float upon the careless wind.
