I have a friend who is looking for a lyric/poem (preferably nothing too contemporary)to accompany a list of students that have passed on since high school graduation. Everything I have suggested has been a bit too morose. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks.

Well this might not be exactly what you want, but I think it conveys the right spirit:

So long, Frank Lloyd Wright
I can't believe your song is gone so soon
I'd barely learned the tune
So soon, so soon....

(Paul Simon, 1969).
