TAMPERING WITH TPrp, :
MY CHOICE

Like the passing of a bres,t 'sned
When the gates have Changed b.s;.,
OF the portal men call Deaf ne
l have my souls discarded brst
just laid beneath the sky,
My only requiem the song
OF zephyrs passing by
All let my bed be all unk.
he grim, remorseless tomb
/ like to know the dews Of nivh, Ii
The volets perfume 90
Were sprinkled DER my resin, a..
AS would have it be-
Wild buds and blooms, and from ala,
he murmur OF the sea.
| would have eerie chambe,
Far down beneath the mold
Where days and nights alike ar. d..
And all is dank and cold
So, when my spirit wings its wav
To other realms above
Pray make my couch OF grass and ,;
Among the things love.
II spirits ever do come back
From that far distant bourne
I'd like that mine should find lie ,h.n
Amidst the grass and fern; -
That vines should weave my winding ,h.
And birds should carol free; '
And prairie grasses should caress
The form that once was me.
