When I be dead me dearest
turn me bone to ash.
Bank up ye heat... stoke furnace
throw me dust out with ye trash.

No turns, straight ahead. A humbly comment: trash is not a place to end, there´s so many romantic places in this world. Nice poem, Laura

I would like to translate this poem
the contrast here is between the shortness of the poem and the awesome terrifying content. to contain such horrifying destiny in two couplets is great art. the contrast between the silence of death and noises of the furnace.great poem /short and effective
