'Grave!' said I, 'thing of deathbed' Oh, I'm remembering many critical, weighty burials Say you will not accept my spirit As my cold flesh body lies dormant Much I marveled the appalling graveyard That moment my soul grew enormous By the grave I saw the burials The catastrophic cemetery coffining Say you will not accept my spirit As my cold flesh body lies dormant Deep into that darkness sobering I awoke and flung the profound What could there be more purely close? And the burials never pressing 'Grave!' said I, 'thing of deathbed I refuse to lie here My true self is with God and Jesus 4/19/19
