All Souls' Day

Will o' the wisps wreath through these trees
Unnatural weather falling over their leaves
And the prayers of the dead, and all they ever said
Hang in the air on memory's threads

November nothings sigh the sweetness of May
From the dark of the grave, buds break into day
Rising to lay shades over dusk-coloured stone
While dining on those who are laid out below.
