Will She Shed Tears On My Headstone
Will She Shed Tears On My Headstone
When my ghost and I fade away
into earth's breast that final day
shall I rest in paradise hills
or as a fish among the rills
lay beneath blue of foaming seas
leaving these olden bones in me?
When this earthen spirit takes flight
flying from worry and world's blight
can looking back it then realize
life and love were the greatest prize
or would sorrows its sight then blind
love's sweet remnants from mortal mind.
When body is laid underground
music plays, yet heard is no sound
could her image and love give aid
to heal the wounds regrets have made?
When life flees and I rest alone.
Will she shed tears on my headstone?
