Know ye the names to which this stone refers?
His name is written in the Living Scroll
because Christ's name is written in his soul,
which is with Christ. His body lies with hers.
His loving bride's this ground also inters,
the wife who took his name above this knoll
as well as Jesus Christ's before the toll
of time had taken her where no flesh stirs.
If ye know not their names, then pass ye by
to more familiar names of others' bones.
No one need know their names, but Christ's name. Why?
We must be born again. Christ's blood atones.
I do not mourn their lives. They did not die.
They have new names now, written in white stones.
