SEPULCHER
Charles Baudelaire
If on a dismal, sultry night
Some good Christian, through charity,
Will bury your vaunted body
Behind the ruins of a building
At the hour when the chaste stars
Close their eyes, heavy with sleep,
The spider will make his webs there,
And the viper his progeny;
You will hear all year long
Above your damned head
The mournful cries of wolves
And of the half-starved witches,
The frolics of lustful old men
And the plots of vicious robbers.
