Somewhere the tree is growing
That will be my bed:
Cold white wood against cold white flesh,
And the last prayer said.
Sometime we'll creep together,
And our dust, as one,
Will talk deep things with the gossiping rain
And the curious sun.
But today the tree is singing,
Pregnant with bursting flower,
And glad in the dawn and starlight
I live my hour.
