Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHIJ K

Who says that all must vanishA
Who knows perhaps the flightB
of the bird you wound remainsC
and perhaps flowers surviveD
caresses in us in their groundE
-
It isn't the gesture that lastsF
but it dresses you again in goldG
armor from breast to kneesH
and the battle was so pureI
an Angel wears it after youJ
