The Piper Plays - Saddest Landscape
The saddest thing to see
Looks so tiny waiting there
Is the coffin of a young baby
ground opened and prepared
Coffin is blessed and kissed
Said the final goodbye
by parents so distressed
who just want to die
The piper plays
Its soulful lament
The coffin is lowered
Prayers are sent
Mothers knees buckle
Too much to take in
This sad landscape
Of a white tiny coffin.
