THE GENTLE HILLS OF PRETTY BONES:



Tell me dear, where is it that your pretty bones do lie?
Underneath yonder hills, beneath God´s breathy sky,
Waltzing in frocks of daffodils with hems of lilac blues,
Dancing toes of dewy lawns, shod in pretty daisy shoes.

Serenaded by cold night winds & kissed by gentle breezes,
Told old tales by the ancient bones, who lie below & freezes,
Warmed by summer´s sunbeams & in dawn caressed by frost,
And deep within the earth´s sod, your history´s name embossed.

Your pretty bones now lying, where once there swam great whales,
Lying beneath these rolling hills, besides the bones of dragon´s tails,
Your grave I cannot find, but in this old land you once called home,
I know that beneath these gentle hills, is where you rest your bones.

Where old echoing ghosts go calling, on the dark autumnal nights,
Garbed & robed in the gowns of winter, in ermined snowy whites,
With soft coronet of silver stars, upon your moon touched head,
Your pretty bones, beneath these hills, are now safe & gently wed.
