Bury her at even
Language: English
Bury her at even, That the stars may shine Soon above her And the dews of twilight cover: Bury her at even, Ye that love her. Bury her at even, As the shut of flowers Softly take her; They will lie beside nor wake her: Bury her at even At the shut of flowers. Bury her at even In the wind’s decline; Night receive her Where no noise may grieve her! Bury her at even, And then leave her!
