Anne Barbara Ridler - Bunhill’s Fields

Anne Barbara Ridler - Bunhill’s Fields

Under cool trees the City tombs br extend, and nearer lie br stones above Blake's and Bunyan's bones br to Vivian's working days than I. br br Since he is gentle, wild and good br as you were, peaceable Shades, br there may he go within your care br as in my heart his love resides. br br Such a care as held unharmed br the tree within the fire; br spread wings like those that led br Tobias in the dangerous shire. br br And if I fear his death too much, br let me not learn more faith br by sad trial of what I dread, br nor grieve him by my own death. br br For our faith is one which may br convert but not console: br we shall not, except by our own will, br part for ever in the gape of hell.
