Untroubling and untroubled where I lie—
The grass below—above the vaulted sky.

These lines imagine the speaker at rest in death, positioned between the earth’s grass and the “vaulted sky.” The paired adjectives—“untroubling and untroubled”—suggest a double peace: the dead no longer cause disturbance in the world, and are no longer disturbed by it. The image compresses a whole cosmology into a grave’s perspective, making burial feel less like confinement than like a calm placement within nature’s larger architecture. The tone is stoic and reconciled, turning mortality into a quiet continuity with the natural world rather than a rupture from it.
