Lay A Garland On My Hearse Poem by Francis Beaumont

Lay A Garland On My Hearse

Rating: 3.9


Lay a garland on my hearse,
Of the dismal yew,
Maidens, willow branches bear,
Say I died true.
My love was false, but I was firm
From my hour of birth;
Upon my buried body lie
Lightly, gentle earth.

Succinct poem about Death and being buried and the omnipresence of earth over him.
