Puritan Graveyard in Cambridge

Marc Zegans

Walking quick by the old burying ground

On the ice-licked and snow encrusted brick

Past the first Harvard Presidents lying,

Veritas, now bone and dust, under brick,

Upraised caves and faded monuments

Behind blacked and rusted wrought iron gate

that we pass, a familiar locked ruin,

by our way of trudge to the Border.

— Marc Zegans
