Those flowers, so fresh!

As I lie pale and white

Those flowers on my chest so fresh

Mourners in black and white

Shedding right tears, in right measure



As I lie pale and white

I never knew I had friends so many

Would have been nice if they were around

While I was alive



As I lie pale and white

I never knew I was so good

Worthy of praise so kindly showered

It’s news I was the noblest!



As I lie pale and white

I know they’re so eager

To see who gets what

And share what’s left



As I lie pale and white

Shorn of gold even in my teeth

They just can’t wait

To share the divides



As I lie pale and white

I smile
