I NEVER to the church will give My soul's submission while I live; But why should she exclude when dead My body from a churchyard-bed? Because when she has seen it laid In safety by her sexton's spade She surely cannot feel distress That there is one Dissenter less. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY PAST AND PRESENT by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON |
