The death of man seals man as he is,

                             seals his record –

                                                              the record of his soul,

                                                              the record of his spirit,

                                                              the record of his ears –

                                                              the record of his recreation –

                                                              the record of his actions –

                                                              the record of his travels –

                                                              the record of his hands –

                                                              the record of his assemblies,

                                                              the record of his fruits,

                                                              the record of his service,

                                                              the record of his gifts,

                                                              the record of his visits,

                                                              the record of his labours,

                                                              the record of his dealings,

                                                              the record of his generosity,

                                                              the record of his humanity,

                                                              the record of his deeds,

                                                              the record of his heart –

                                                      the mantle that tipped the scales.”
