Analysis of Heaven's Might
The blackened earth like a blanket lay,
Upon a body lowered from birth,
And atop its grave the ravens play,
The scent of death, a vulture's mirth.
The standing trees in the breeze still sway,
And among this corpse persists the sound,
Of a beating heart, death has yet to slay,
The might of life from heaven’s ground.
