****************************
My hollowed casket is empty
Awaiting a withered shell,
My wooden lid is askance
...
I
No song I have my blessed child
No thoughts which could bid adieu,
As you travel to yonder world
...
As I passed my wicket fence
The ageing walnut tree,
Showered me with withered leaves
And said something to me;
...
No one yet knows my new calling
Now that my profile has changed,
I reside in a cemetery
A settlement prearranged.
...
I remember those summer days
When I passed by your winding lane,
Gay blossomed cottage where you lived
Vines adorning your window pane.
