Epitaph

Here lies Richard Francis Delisle III

Here lies a monument dedicated to Sir Richard Francis Delisle III
Shaker of Dirt,
Shepherd of Earth.

"Even in pitch, Light does have give;
Though the mortal does lie,
 The poet still lives."

~III~

Author's Note

An Epitaph for my friend's contest.
I say monument, as I would rather be cremated.

Please enjoy!
