I dreamed I lay me down to sleep
And did not rise again;
Whatever tears my lovers wept
They watered me like rain.
I was a garden, in my bed--
I melted into earth
While all the loves I ever had
Crawled through me like white worms,
And all the loves I ever loved
Sprang up, like seeds to sun,
Alive, unlost, though I forgot
Their names as I dissolved.
