common masses wrest
with their aging lives unknown
as young stand with honor
on stages veiled then shown
once mortal now immortal
never again forever
legends rest in stone
now age and time sever
memory fills love’s void
though slowly the quick forget
inspiration welds our will
while tears transcend death's debt
