Requiescat<\/h1>\n

by Oscar Wilde<\/p>\n

Tread lightly, she is near
\nUnder the snow,
\nSpeak gently, she can hear
\nThe daisies grow.<\/p>\n

All her bright golden hair
\nTarnished with rust,
\nShe that was young and fair
\nFallen to dust.<\/p>\n

Lily-like, white as snow,
\nShe hardly knew
\nShe was a woman, so
\nSweetly she grew.<\/p>\n

Coffin-board, heavy stone,
\nLie on her breast,
\nI vex my heart alone,
\nShe is at rest.<\/p>\n

Peace, Peace, she cannot hear
\nLyre or sonnet,
\nAll my life’s buried here,
\nHeap earth upon it.<\/p>\n
