4. A Handful of Dust (4:27)
Leaves fall
And wander through the air,
Like ash from a burning home.
In the wind,
The trees whisper,
"We do not forgive. We do not forgive."
Every breath of Winter air
Sharply kisses the trees
And the mourner's faces.
It is relentless.
The elms stand over the mourners,
With arms raised in sorrow.
The trees are born of the skeletons that inhabit the earth between their roots,
And they grow forth into towering skeletons,
Above the black huddled mass.
The trees never knew-
Now they know the bottom.
A hole is in the earth,
People are thrown in it,
And dirt.
Each family member offers
A handful of dust,
To the quiet and reposed.
They have always taken,
But now, at last, to their fondest, they give
A handful
Of dust.
And wander through the air,
Like ash from a burning home.
In the wind,
The trees whisper,
"We do not forgive. We do not forgive."
Every breath of Winter air
Sharply kisses the trees
And the mourner's faces.
It is relentless.
The elms stand over the mourners,
With arms raised in sorrow.
The trees are born of the skeletons that inhabit the earth between their roots,
And they grow forth into towering skeletons,
Above the black huddled mass.
The trees never knew-
Now they know the bottom.
A hole is in the earth,
People are thrown in it,
And dirt.
Each family member offers
A handful of dust,
To the quiet and reposed.
They have always taken,
But now, at last, to their fondest, they give
A handful
Of dust.
