Flowers of the Forest

Flowers of the Forest

15 lines

The stranger
stopped by the grave

Placing wild poppies
In front of the headstone
At the Sunset view cemetery
In Berkeley, California.

Took out a fiddle
Playing a mournful tune
As he recalled the love
of his long life.

Now resting in the grave
After General Corona
Took her from him.

He lay down on the ground
And soon joined her
As death embraced him.
