How curious the occasion <br />Of the funeral procession <br />Of a young and innocent being <br /> <br />The ceasing of song, <br />and the darkness of death, The sunlight <br />thought no more to be seen <br /> <br />How curious that Nature <br />All around this sad event allows the sun <br />to yet shine and the birds to still sing <br /> <br />Perhaps Nature knows more than <br />One would suppose, and that death is <br />No more than a soul taking wing <br /> <br />Aye, how curious <br />Tis death <br />And the nature of things<br /><br />David Whalen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-curious-is-nature/
