Nothing to say to all those marriages	A
She had made three herself to three of his	A
The score was even for them three to three	B
But come to die she found she cared so much	C
She thought of children in a burial row	D
Three children in a burial row were sad	E
One man's three women in a burial row	D
Somehow made her impatient with the man	F
And so she said to Laban You have done	G
A good deal right don't do the last thing wrong	H
Don't make me lie with those two other women	G
	-
Laban said No he would not make her lie	I
With anyone but that she had a mind to	J
If that was how she felt of course he said	K
She went her way But Laban having caught	L
This glimpse of lingering person in Eliza	M
And anxious to make all he could of it	N
With something he remembered in himself	O
Tried to think how he could exceed his promise	P
And give good measure to the dead though thankless	P
If that was how she felt he kept repeating	Q
His first thought under pressure was a grave	R
In a new boughten grave plot by herself	O
Under he didn't care how great a stone	S
He'd sell a yoke of steers to pay for it	N
And weren't there special cemetery flowers	T
That once grief sets to growing grief may rest	U
The flowers will go on with grief awhile	V
And no one seem neglecting or neglected	W
A prudent grief will not despise such aids	X
He thought of evergreen and everlasting	Q
And then he had a thought worth many of these	Y
Somewhere must be the grave of the young boy	Z
Who married her for playmate more than helpmate	W
And sometimes laughed at what it was between them	A2
How would she like to sleep her last with him	B2
Where was his grave Did Laban know his name	C2
	-
He found the grave a town or two away	D2
The headstone cut with John Beloved Husband	W
Beside it room reserved the say a sister's	T
A never married sister's of that husband	W
Whether Eliza would be welcome there	E2
The dead was bound to silence ask the sister	F2
So Laban saw the sister and saying nothing	Q
Of where Eliza wanted not to lie	I
And who had thought to lay her with her first love	G2
Begged simply for the grave The sister's face	H2
Fell all in wrinkles of responsibility	W
She wanted to do right She'd have to think	I2
Laban was old and poor yet seemed to care	E2
And she was old and poor but she cared too	W
They sat She cast one dull old look at him	B2
Then turned him out to go on other errands	J2
She said he might attend to in the village	K2
While she made up her mind how much she cared	W
And how much Laban cared and why he cared	W
She made shrewd eyes to see where he came in	L2
	-
She'd looked Eliza up her second time	M2
A widow at her second husband's grave	R
And offered her a home to rest awhile	V
Before she went the poor man's widow's way	D2
Housekeeping for the next man out of wedlock	N2
She and Eliza had been friends through all	O2
Who was she to judge marriage in a world	W
Whose Bible's so confused up in marriage counsel	P2
The sister had not come across this Laban	G
A decent product of life's ironing out	W
She must not keep him waiting Time would press	Q2
Between the death day and the funeral day	D2
So when she saw him coming in the street	W
She hurried her decision to be ready	W
To meet him with his answer at the door	R2
Laban had known about what it would be	W
From the way she had set her poor old mouth	S2
To do as she had put it what was right	W
	-
She gave it through the screen door closed between them	A2
No not with John There wouldn't be no sense	T2
Eliza's had too many other men	U2
	-
Laban was forced to fall back on his plan	F
To buy Eliza a plot to lie alone in	L2
Which gives him for himself a choice of lots	V2
When his time comes to die and settle down	W2
