“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).
