There is a tear for all who die,
A mourner over the humblest grave. [ Byron ]

There is a tear for all that die;
A mourner over the humblest grave. [ Byron ]

Smit with exceeding sorrow unto death. [ Tennyson ]

Great sorrow makes sacred the sufferer. [ Owen Meredith ]

No longer mourn for me when I am dead.
Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell
Give warning to the world that I am fled. [ William Shakespeare ]

How wretched is the man who never mourned! [ Young ]

The mourner yew and builder oak were there. [ Dryden ]

He mourns the dead who lives as they desire. [ Young ]

They truly mourn, that mourn without a witness. [ Baron ]

Why is the hearse with scutcheons blazon'd round,
And with the nodding plume of ostrich crown'd?
No: the dead know it not, nor profit gain;
It only serves to prove the living vain. [ Gay ]

Do not, for ever, with thy veiled lids
Seek for thy noble father in the dust;
Thou knowst 'tis common; all that lives must die.
Passing through nature to eternity. [ William Shakespeare ]

He that lacks time to mourn, lacks time to mend.
Eternity mourns that. 'Tis an ill cure
For life's worst ills to have no time to feel them. [ Sir Henry Taylor ]

O very gloomy is the House of Woe,
Where tears are falling while the bell is knelling.
With all the dark solemnities which show
That Death is in the dwelling!
O, very, very dreary is the room
Where Love, domestic Love, no longer nestles.
But smitten by the common stroke of doom.
The corpse lies on the trestles! [ Hood ]

Let us weep in our darkness - but weep not for him!
Not for him - who, departing, leaves millions in tears!
Not for him - who has died full of honor and years!
Not for him - who ascended Fame's ladder so high.
From the round at the top he has stepped to the sky. [ N. P. Willis ]

There is a joy in sorrow which none but a mourner can know. [ Tupper ]

Heavy sorrow is silent, and the deepest mourning is the most solitary. [ Charles Buxton ]

Sorrows when shared are less burdensome, though joys divided are increased. [ J. G. Holland ]

I have that honorable grief lodged here which burns worse than tears drown. [ William Shakespeare ]

Away! we know that tears are vain, that death never heeds nor hears distress. [ Byron ]

The true way to mourn the dead is to take care of the living who belong to them. [ Burke ]

Many a smiling face hides a mourning heart; but grief alone teaches us what we are. [ Schiller ]

Moderate lamentation is the right of the dead: excessive grief the enemy to the living. [ William Shakespeare ]

Of permanent mourning there is none; no cloud remains fixed. The sun will shine tomorrow. [ Richter ]

To be impatient at the death of a person concerning whom it was certain he must die is to mourn because thy friend was not born an angel. [ Jeremy Taylor ]

To be left alone in the wide world with scarcely a friend, - this makes the sadness which, striking its pang into the minds of the young and the affectionate, teaches them too soon to watch and interpret the spirit-signs of their own hearts. [ Hawthorne ]
