“I shall not rest quiet in Montparnasse.
I shall not lie easy at Winchelsea.
You may bury my body in Sussex grass,
You may bury my tongue at Champmédy.
I shall not be there. I shall rise and pass.
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee.”

given that my love is here
shall always stay attached to these hearts.
I shall never bid farewell to this place!
But I have to send this body
