Great voices of the past
Speak to us in whispers
Words that always seem to last
The wisdom of the drifters
Poets tell us how to feel
Playwrights, how to act
Echoes from their tombs long-sealed
All because they had a knack
The lives we live belong to us
But history's the dead's
Shape your world but do not fuss
When words rise from grave-beds
Without the past we cannot be
But eyes turned back can never see
