Ashley Jackson and Malcolm J. Merriweather - To a Brown Girl Dead

With two white roses on her breasts,
White candles at head and feet,
Dark Madonna of the grave she rests
Lord Death has found her sweet.

Her mother pawned her wedding ring
To lay her out in white
She'd be so proud she'd dance and sing
To see herself tonight.
