death poem

under dusky laurel leaf
at dawn, he said
a very remarkable history this is
they in the darkness gather and ask
winged shadows sweeping by
how like the stars are these white, nameless faces
out of me unworthy and unknown
better than granite
somewhere i read a strange, old, rusty tale
one by one, like leaves from a tree
why so sad my lovely one?
