First Line: These words, phocaea, were theano's last
Last Line: Might put my hand in your hand as I die!'
Subject(s): Graves; Tombs; Tombstones
THESE words, Phocaea, were Theano's last
When into the night where no man reaps she passed:
'Woe's me, Apellichus! How wide, how wide,
Husband, the gulf whereo'er your ship must ride!
But Death stands close to me. Ah, would that I
Might put my hand in your hand as I die!'
