Death
by Theodora Colt Flynn |
|
|
|
When
I die |
|
I
shall reach my hands to heaven |
|
and flow up out of my body
|
|
I
shall wait by the dead one moment |
|
then cover my body with autumn leaves
|
|
I
shall wander through fall and winter |
|
and pause a moment in spring
|
|
And
there I shall lay myself down in a field of daisies |
|
and whisper this song to myself,
|
|
I am part of the earth
|
|
I am the earth
|
|
And daisies are growing up out of my heart ...
