When I Die

With sight forever closed And voice eternally locked Shine still will the immortal sun Birds at my wake keep sing on to life as incense burn When I die; In neat dis-order, ants will march And buzzing silently the bees shall lament While I shall lie still, All gone stealth and stilt. Finally dead from undying death With sightless eyes and mirthless mirth, my bane. When I die .
