Won't you please walk with me For part of the way A solemn egg of death Rolling on the road In a box beneath the bed A golden hand Lovers exhausted from love In true love renewed The veil rent in twain Open the graves A particle of war Slips under the door Won't you please stay with me Until you must return They said this day would come It has come and gone The trees bear flesh from seed The soil heaves Shadows of birds in flight Dapple your face at twilight Won't you please carry me Carry me down All fear congeals in a mound It does not make a sound No music to be found
