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
