Last Gift by Maisie Nelson Devitt, Powell River They braided all her long dark hair, In linen laid her down to rest. I brought red roses, vibrant, sweet, To strow upon her sleeping reast. Against the shroud's chill purity They flung a bright impious stain, A passion-fire that sought to wake That quiet heart to love again. The mourners whispered: "He was harsh-- Cruel to her in life--" they said, Now saw that every crimson bloom Begged mute forgiveness of the dead.
