Beneath our feet and o'er our head Is equal warning given; Beneath us lie the countless dead, Above us is the heaven. Death rides on every passing breeze, He lurks in every flower; Each season has its own disease, Its peril every hour. Our eyes have seen the rosy light Of youth's soft cheek decay, And fate descend in sudden night On manhood's middle day. Our eyes have seen the steps of age Halt feebly towards the tomb; And yet shall earth our hearts engage, And dream of days to come? Turn, mortal, Turn! thy danger know,-- Where'er thy feet can tread The earth rings hollow from below, And warns thee of her dead. Turn, Christian, turn! thy soul apply To truths divinely given; The bones that underneath thee lie Shall live for _hell or heaven!_ The Burial Ground of St. Mary, Battersea, was purchased 1860, and secured for the use of the Parishioners, by Act of Parliament, xv. and xvi.
