On thy grave the rain shall fall from the eyes of a mighty nation!

Thomas William Parsons was an American poet who lived during the 19th century. He is best known for his poem "On a Grave at Grindelwald," in which he wrote the famous line, "On thy grave the rain shall fall from the eyes of a mighty nation!" This line has been interpreted in various ways, but it is generally seen as a tribute to the fallen soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for their country.
