Of sound mind and body

When my body finally fails, my debt finally paid

Grant this last request and stay your dirty spade

Let the cleansing fires judge my worth

And give my vessel back to Mother Earth

I have no need for caskets or suits

Do not plant me deep beneath the roots

Let flames take this body and reduce it to dust

Let the winds take the smoke wherever it must

When my dearest love has passed, treat her with the same care

Join our ashes and reunite the pair

Spread them in the woods of the Midwest

And where ever my dearest love may request

And spread them where we bound our lives forever

Return us to the Earth, but return us together
