Here's my paraphrase. When loved ones die, the sad news travels fast and sadly can't be ignored. If these dead were to rise again, great bells would herald the miracle. But if these sleepers lie buried, blooming daisies at the graveside would speak for them. After my Philip parted reluctantly with life, his parting drilled into my heart without the need for daisies.
