REQUIESCAT, by MATTHEW BILLER 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TOMB AT AKR CAAR by EZRA POUND A BALLAD OF WHITECHAPEL by ISAAC ROSENBERG LOVE'S CAUTION by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES THE DYING WORDS OF STONEWALL JACKSON by SIDNEY LANIER FATHER, THY WILL BE DONE by SARAH FLOWER ADAMS THE TOUCH STONE by SAMUEL BISHOP THE VISION by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE HEART OF HAMPSHIRE by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB THE TWICKENHAM AIR by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB THREE EPISTLES TO G.
