John - your lovely poem about Joshua, makes me think of many New England scenes, walks through the graveyards, and thoughts that wandered through my head about the occupants beneath the headstones.

Aengus Finnan write a lovely song called O'Shaughnessy's Lament. You can see the lyrics here,(track 13) but Aengus said of the song, "If ever a song was 'given" to me it was this one. Written at the grave of a silver miner and his family in Cobalt, Ontario."
