My Sister Buried in a Trunk: I was around Every night I called up to her window EmilyEmily, dont die alone... I was there As close to serenade I tried to make my voice sound, When I sung out to her: Come down Emily, Emily come take a walk with me Put your feet on solid ground! I was confined to come each eve, I cried for her to glimpse my sight, I saw but a lonely light; A discomforted form at work. I swear I came even on wild nights, Where now I think the rain tried To provide me with some future incite, Though I was unaware of what she wrote I knew that she did write, I thought she would retire soon from sowing, The window was high, With candle light still glowing, I whispered, EmilyEmily Please stop what you are doing, Just for a moment come walk with me EmilyEmily, dont die alone... I heard a pace, I heard her rise, I heard her heart it was racing, I thought I could hear her feet on the steps-- The upstairs window flew open The door below stayed closed I should have known it was her life that was going... There was no light in the window anymore Later nights when I did call; My life without her had little answer... It was strange how I kept facing Returning to where she went departing Without a care at all. But when I broke the rules So sick with love from calling, I found a trunk full Of slanted verse And I was no longer falling. Yet after I made your work immortal, You died again, in my grief. Now often nights I still come by, Sometimes I think I see, A shadow pass over your room; I shed a tear for Emily.
