On Tarnished Ground

Cast no shadow on my grave, Step not on this tarnished ground. Bring no flag to gently wave, Utter not a single sound. Bear no witness to my life, Say no prayer to save my soul. Pity not my daily strife, Worry not the Devil's role. Blame not others for my dread, Let no others pay my lease. Fear not dark clouds overhead, Let no God disturb my peace.
