TO BORROW A TOMB
A tomb is not the sort
Of thing you borrow
Unless you have power
To banish its sorrow.
A tomb is not the sort
Of thing you borrow
Unless you have power
To banish its sorrow.
No, a tomb is never
Merely to borrow
Unless you descend
Into hell to harrow.
Merely to borrow
Unless you descend
Into hell to harrow.
So take, Lord, this tomb
You need only borrow
And return it empty
Day after tomorrow.
