Actually, what ladygreek wrote was the Mizpah poem (they print it on coins and those pendants that break apart for best friends or significant others).

What I wrote was from the Dies iræ part of the Requiem mass:

Dies iræ! dies illa
Solvet sæclum in favilla
Day of wrath and terror looming!
Heaven and earth to ash consuming,


And then I skipped to the end (I didn't see any reason to type all 17 verses):

dona eis requiem. Amen.
grant it rest. Amen.

Awww, AlphaFrog - now everyone knows!
BTW - I thought it was the perfect way to end the thread . . .

I didn't think anyone would appreciate walking around reciting Dies iræ, thinking they were reciting the Mizpah poem.

I suppose La crimosa or Pie Jesu could have worked as well.

Oh I was not going to be walking about town reciting it, but thanks for clarification.
