The Shadows Have Fallen

No trip to Fall River would be complete without a stop at Oak Grove Cemetery. Beside the Bordens it is the burial place for many of the names we all know so well.
At the main entrance on Prospect Street is the beautiful arch
Curving around the arch are raised letters which read:
The Shadows Have Fallen
And They Wait For The Day
Since it is a Christian cemetery I assume it refers to the Resurrection. So far I have not been able to locate the source of the lines.
On the small shield at the top is the year 1873. I think this may be the year the arch was erected as I believe the cemetery predates that.
For those that have access to the old LBQ's the Winter 1995 edition has an article that mentions the arch.
