Requiescat

READ
lightly, she is near
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.
All her bright golden hair

Tarnished with rust,
She that was young and fair
Fallen to dust.
Lily-like, white as snow,
She hardly knew
10
She was a woman, so
Sweetly she grew.
Coffin-board, heavy stone,
Lie on her breast,
I vex my heart alone

She is at rest.
Peace, Peace, she cannot hear
Lyre or sonnet,
All my lifes buried here,
Heap earth upon it.
