As Comets Foray

Oh, what powerful lights on a sable sea
Sugar crystals sprinkled on all ebony
Back to the ground, eyes up to sky
Plant me like this, the very day I die
In a glass coffin on the world, display
My eyes to the stars, as comets foray
I pray to heaven if this be how my soul is condemned
In looking up, my words on angels garments hemmed

This sounds a beautiful wish... to lie in a glass coffin with eyes set on the stars in the firmament as comets foray. A beautiful writing dear A.S
