Cemetery

Katie Odell

There is a cove of somber graves
A haven from a world depraved
And one day I shall join the brave
If my sweet faith I never waive

One dreary day, I dare the path
That leads to past souls' aftermath
If I should feel the devil's wrath
Lord, let me join them in their strath

I spot a tomb empty as I
And suddenly I start to cry
For though this life is but a lie
'Tis still a sin to wish to die
