O close and coin my eyes
For I have seen the last light
Lay me down on poppy sheets
Oblivion my caul
Balm my lips
Nepenthe's kiss
So grief can find me not
O close and coin my eyes
For I have seen the last light
In the velvet blue-lined casket
Roses round my head
Crownèd queen
I star-bound sleep
On cushioned palanquin
O close and coin my eyes
For I have seen the last light
