funeral poem

i stood by the open casement
roses and gold
a thin gray shadow on the edge of thought
so fallen
my soul is a dark ploughed field
i despise my friends more than you
no prey am i of poor thoughts
i never knew the earth had so much gold
all within and all without me
under dusky laurel leaf
when the veil from the eyes is lifted
when you come tonight
some of the hurts you have cured
those on the top say they know you, earth-they are liars
