Burial

    By Edna St. Vincent Millay



            Mine is a body that should die at sea!
                And have for a grave, instead of a grave
            Six feet deep and the length of me,
                All the water that is under the wave!

            And terrible fishes to seize my flesh,
                Such as a living man might fear,
            And eat me while I am firm and fresh,--
                Not wait till I've been dead for a year!
