Keeping Words

I don’t want to go to grave yard For I had promised my beloved To wait here until she comes up Let me stay alone and shut up For she does not like any crowd I don’t want to be buried deep For I have a promise to keep That she needn’t search for me I will never from her be flee For she finds me to be proud I don’t want to be burnt away I must keep my words anyway To be by her side if she needs Let me lie aside by the reeds Covered in the holy shroud
