Remember my love the object we saw	A
That beautiful morning in June	B
By a bend in the path a carcass reclined	C
On a bed sown with pebbles and stones	D
	-
Her legs were spread out like a lecherous whore	E
Sweating out poisonous fumes	F
Who opened in slick invitational style	G
Her stinking and festering womb	H
	-
The sun on this rottenness focused its rays	I
To cook the cadaver till done	J
And render to Nature a hundredfold gift	K
Of all she'd united in one	J
	-
And the sky cast an eye on this marvellous meat	L
As over the flowers in bloom	H
The stench was so wretched that there on the grass	M
You nearly collapsed in a swoon	B
	-
The flies buzzed and droned on these bowels of filth	N
Where an army of maggots arose	O
Which flowed with a liquid and thickening stream	P
On the animate rags of her clothes	Q
	-
And it rose and it fell and pulsed like a wave	R
Rushing and bubbling with health	S
One could say that this carcass blown with vague breath	T
Lived in increasing itself	U
	-
And this whole teeming world made a musical sound	V
Like babbling brooks and the breeze	W
Or the grain that a man with a winnowing fan	X
Turns with a rhythmical ease	W
	-
The shapes wore away as if only a dream	P
Like a sketch that is left on the page	Y
Which the artist forgot and can only complete	L
On the canvas with memory's aid	Z
	-
From back in the rocks a pitiful bitch	A2
Eyed us with angry distaste	B2
Awaiting the moment to snatch from the bones	D
The morsel she'd dropped in her haste	B2
	-
And you in your turn will be rotten as this	C2
Horrible filthy undone	J
O sun of my nature and star of my eyes	D2
My passion my angel in one	J
	-
Yes such will you be o regent of grace	E2
After the rites have been read	F2
Under the weeds under blossoming grass	M
As you moulder with bones of the dead	F2
	-
Ah then o my beauty explain to the worms	G2
Who cherish your body so tine	H2
That I am the keeper for corpses of love	I2
Of the form and the essence divine	H2
