The sight of my dearest love, poisoned and dead,
Did stab through my heart in a literal sense.
They begged my request from my hospital bed -
To lay near the one of my love's descendants.
So as I was dying, they went with great haste
To the nearest plot where they lay dead to rest.
The very first entrance, they opened the gates,
And went a fair distance along to the west.
At a roundabout, to the south did they go,
And made a sharp right at post 23B.
From the road they traveled, a name did not show
'Tween “Near” and “MacDermid”, and THIS one was she!
But seeing how muggles might take me away,
Within yonder cedars, is where I do lay!
