ON that day | |
I shall put roses on roses, and cover your grave | |
With multitude of white roses: and since you were brave | |
One bright red ray. | |
|
So people, passing under | 5 |
The ash-trees of the valley-road, will raise | |
Their eyes and look at the grave on the hill, in wonder, | |
Wondering mount, and put the flowers asunder | |
|
To see whose praise | |
Is blazoned here so white and so bloodily red. | 10 |
Then they will say: Tis long since she is dead, | |
Who has remembered her after many days? | |
|
And standing there | |
They will consider how you went your ways | |
Unnoticed among them, a still queen lost in the maze | 15 |
Of this earthly affair. | |
|
A queen, theyll say, | |
Has slept unnoticed on a forgotten hill. | |
Sleeps on unknown, unnoticed there, until | |
Dawns my insurgent day. | 20 |
