The Old Tombs

What are those tables for,
Stone table set by stone table
Under the east gable
Of this old church, Saxon and Norman,
With Death always the foreman?

Do the dead at Bishopstone
Rise from the ground like moths
And sit at white table-cloths
The moon at Easter spreads for them
Or the Star of Bethlehem?
