"Burial"

Burial

“Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,” 
We laid our love away; 
For who would keep a thing that could 
Not bear the light of day? 

But when the little grave was made, 
And headed with a stone, 
God knows the tears that we two shed, 
Each in his heart, alone.


"Burial" as it appears in Ella Higginson's The Voice of April-Land and Other Poems (1903).
