funeral poem

once this soft turf
i go my way complacently
all within and all without me
three days i heard them grieve when i lay dead
roses and gold
o fair and stately maid, whose eyes
a few more windy days
she heard the children playing in the sun
i love the old melodious lays
the air is full of dawn and spring
give me
that strange companion came on shuffling feet
