And there in earth’s arms I laid her to sleep.

And there she is lying and no one knows,

And the summer shines and the winter snows.

For many a year the flowers have spread

A pall of petals over her head.

And the buzzard sails on and comes and is gone.

Stately and still like a ship at sea.

And I wonder why I do not care

For the things that are like the things that were

Does half the heart lie buried there
