Death & Dying
Bury Her at Even
From A Selection from the Poems of Michael Field (1923)
Death & Dying
Bury her at even
That the stars may shine
Soon above her.
And the dews of twilight cover:
Bury her at even
Ye that love her.
Bury her at even
In the wind's decline;
Night receive her
Where no noise can ever grieve her!
Bury her at even.
And then leave her!
