Mine is a body that should die at sea! <br />And have for a grave, instead of a grave <br />Six feet deep and the length of me, <br />All the water that is under the wave! <br />And terrible fishes to seize my flesh, <br />Such as a living man might fear, <br />And eat me while I am firm and fresh,— <br />Not wait till I've been dead for a year!<br /><br />Edna St. Vincent Millay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/burial/
