First Line: She does not sleep in consecrated ground
Last Line: To sleep alone.
Subject(s): Boredom; Death; Ignorance; Ennui; Dead, The; Dullness; Stupdity
She does not sleep in consecrated ground,
Within a walled and populous town of death.
Her soul loved solitude.
Now in the deep spruce wood
She sleeps alone.
Only the shy young deer approach the stone,
A rough-hewn granite full of ruby fire,
(Her life was fire).
Only the wandering wind, the climbing briar.
It is her own desire
To sleep alone.
