The Death

The Death
I would not like to die in winter
When earth is frozen and will not take a spade
They will dig a shallow grave 
Bury me in a coffin without a blanket
Then go inside and sit by the fire
Perhaps they will wrap me in canvas put me on
The hey-loft till spring 
And collect my old age pension during the cold season 
I don`t mind that
Soft soil and flowers on the ground 
Dig deep, and I will be a part of spring

Like this a lot...to die and still be part of the earth.
