I recently read this epitaph on a grave stone in a Merseyside Graveyard.
We cannot tend beside his grave, For he sleeps in secret sea.
And not one whispering wave will tell the place to me,
But though unseen by human eyes, And mortals know it not,
His Father knoweth where he lies and angels mark the spot,
No willows weep no scented flowers bloom o'er the sailors grave,
No emblem left for him who sleeps, Beneath the silent waves.
