On Visiting My Baby's Grave
On Visiting My Baby's Grave
* * *
No words to say; no words to say;
I visited her little grave today.
~ ~ ~
A stone in the grass so square and dry,
Whispers her name to a frigid sky.
~ ~ ~
My heart’s desire lies still, lies deep,
So dear and small in a dreamless sleep.
~ ~ ~
I come away; I come away;
Chilled and alone with no words to say.
