Grave Angel Speaks

Whose blossoms are these
I think I know,
He lies buried
In the tomb below.

He would not see them
Adorn his grave,
Their coloured hues
With a sojourn brave.

I suppose he knows
Who brought them here,
Perhaps it was
A beloved dear.

Its sad he cannot
Their fragrance smell,
I need stand in
For this task as well.

In silence I bless
Those mourners few,
Who bid the dead
A tearful adieu.
