These are the last few lines of William Cullen Bryant's Thanatopsis.  I think they are quite moving.
 
 
  So live, that when thy summons comes to join  
The innumerable caravan which moves  
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take   75
His chamber in the silent halls of death,  
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,  
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed  
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave  
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch   80
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
