Paupers Grave


Paupers Grave

Some young some old
All gone, all passed away
a paupers grave together
a congregation lay.

A name on a headstone with strangers
date you were born, the date you died
They would open a plot for a loved one
where others lay inside.

So many names upon this list
so many too poor to pay
all share this paupers grave
as they rest in peace today.
