Sleep is best.
Bid the vervain spire
Light the funeral fire,
And the yarrow
Build a shady choir,
For the sparrow.
Bid him chirp and cry,
“Everything must die,
She is dead,”
Now in exequy,
Sleep is best.
Bid the vervain spire
Light the funeral fire,
And the yarrow
Build a shady choir,
For the sparrow.
Bid him chirp and cry,
“Everything must die,
She is dead,”
Now in exequy,
