REQUIESCAT, by                    
First Line: Let the word of sorrow cease
Last Line: A fitting cover.


Let the word
Of sorrow cease,
She had heard
Enough of these.

Strew no flower.
Cut no stone.
Let the shower
Fall alone.

Skies will weep
And winds complain --
Let her sleep
Here in the rain,

Till the grass
Creep softly over,
Making last
A fitting cover.
