His Burial
Make his bed he needs to sleep,
Undisturbed and in peace,
Brown sheets should be washed and clean
Laid out without any crease.
Take care to check the bedspread
Those pillows do not ignore,
For he’ll sleep much longer now
Than he has ever before.
Ensure no mellow sunshine,
Sweet birdsong nor worldly din,
Stirs him from his slumber deep
Distressing his rest within.
