“My will it is easy to decide I have nothing to divide
My kin don’t need to fuss and moan
But moss does not cling to a rolling stone
My body, ah if I could choose
I would to ashes it reduce
And spread them on a great field
Where flowers bloom and seeds they yield
Some fading of flowers then may
Come alive and live to bloom again.”
-Sophie Barton
