Bury Me Never
When in death I close my eyes
then place my body in a box suitable for such,
but Bury Me? Never!
When the last gasp of air is vanished from my chest
then place this shell I once possessed into the dirt,
but Bury Me? Never!
When time is overthrown by eternity, I pray thee
cast my ashes into the deepest sea,
but Bury Me? Never!
