Under this sod and beneath these trees
Lies all that's left of Samuel Pease;
Pease ain't here--it's just his pod;
He shelled off his soul which flew to God.

That is a cute poem! I have never heard of Samuel Pease. I will never look
at an empty snail shell again without thinking on Samuel and the sod beneath
the trees.
