I'm sorry for the DeadToday

529

I'm sorry for the Dead?Today?
It's such congenial times
Old Neighbors have at fences?
It's time o' year for Hay.

And Broad?Sunburned Acquaintance
Discourse between the Toil?
And laugh, a homely species
That makes the Fences smile?

It seems so straight to lie away
From all of the noise of Fields?
The Busy Carts?the fragrant Cocks?
The Mower's Metre?Steals?

A Trouble lest they're homesick?
Those Farmers?and their Wives?
Set separate from the Farming?
And all the Neighbors' lives?

A Wonder if the Sepulchre
Don't feel a lonesome way?
When Men?and Boys?and Carts?and June,
Go down the Fields to "Hay"?
