Her Resting Place, by Edward Robeson Taylor

Her Resting Place

She rests not where the bending flowers
Can spill their perfumes over her,
But in the cells of loveliest flowers
Her fleshly atoms once more stir,
To give those blooms the brightest hue
That e'er before their petals knew,
While in the urn her ashes lie
White as her soul that cannot die.
