Say that my body cannot now<br>Be improved upon; it has no fault to show<br>To the sly cosmetician. Say that my flesh<br>Has a perfect compliance with the grass<br>Truer than any it could have striven for.<br>You will recognize the earth in me, as before<br>I wished to know it in myself: my earth<br>That has been my care and faithful charge from birth,<br>And toward which all my sorrows were surely bound,<br>And all my hopes. Say that I have found<br>A good solution, and am on my way<br>To the roots. And say I have left my native clay<br>At last, to be a traveler; that too will be so.<br>Traveler to where? Say you don't know.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">2.<br>But do not let your ignorance<br>Of my spirit's whereabouts dismay<br>You, or overwhelm your thoughts.<br>Be careful not to say<br>Anything too final. Whatever<br>Is unsure is possible, and life is bigger<br>Than flesh. Beyond reach of thought<br>Let imagination figure</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Your hope.

The thought's unreasonable,<br>But so is life, thank the Lord! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">3.<br>So treat me, even dead,<br>As a man who has a place<br>To go, and something to do.<br>Don't muck up my face<br>With wax and powder and rouge<br>As one would prettify<br>An unalterable fact<br>To give bitterness the lie.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Admit the native earth<br>My body is and will be,<br>Admit its freedom and<br>Its changeability.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Dress me in the clothes<br>I wore in the day's round.<br>Lay me in a wooden box.<br>Put the box in the ground.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">4.<br>Beneath this stone a Berry is planted<br>In his home land, as he wanted.<br>He has come to the gathering of his kin,<br>Among whom some were worthy men,</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Farmers mostly, who lived by hand,<br>But one was a cobbler from Ireland,</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Another played the eternal fool<br>By riding on a circus mule</div><div style="margin:10px 0">To be remembered in grateful laughter<br>Longer than the rest.
