Bury her at even

P. Hadley

Bury her at even,

That the stars may shine

Soon above her

And the dews of twilight cover:

Bury her at even,

Ye that love her.

Bury her at even,

As the shut of flowers

Softly take her;

They will lie beside nor wake her:

Bury her at even

At the shut of flowers.

Bury her at even

In the wind's decline;

Night receive her

Where no noise may grieve her!

Bury her at even,

And then leave her!
