When I Die Poem by David Smart

When I Die



When I die please bury me
Far from town on the wide prarie.
Near a river let me lie
Where the Summer sun won't burn me dry.

Leave my hat upon my head
My panniers by my side,
Leave my boots upon my feet
I've a long, long trail to ride.

And when my bones have turned to dust
And none recall my name,
I'll still be riding, as I must,
'Till it's time to come again.
