Elegy in a Country Churchyard
- THE men that worked for England
- They have their graves at home:
- And birds and bees of England
- About the cross can roam.
- But they that fought for England,
- Following a falling star,
- Alas, alas for England
- They have their graves afar.
- And they that rule in England,
- In stately conclave met,
- Alas, alas for England
- They have no graves as yet.
- G. K. Chesterton

I find this poem apropos, given the crop we have in Washington.
