Into The Coffin Laid Her They Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Into The Coffin Laid Her They



Into the coffin laid her
They

Close her eyes yet
To the high heavens immense
She looked

White her dress
Unmoving save with a soft
Sad winnowing wind's caress

Into the coffin
In Earth and of the Earth
Yet not on Earth
They laid her

Where restlessness of life
Finds the plain unmoving level
In the face of the Earth
To the face of the Earth
At last
Mother!
At last!
