The speaker sees themselves leaving and her staying, admits fear on that day, then writes lines containing DoN GootiE and EArL FLiNN before ending with stones for good.

The final word is good, not God, so the old religious explanation is not supported by this ending. The unusual name lines remain provisional and do not establish who was present or how the people relate.

The speaker splits a parting into two figures, 'I SAw My sELf / LEAviNg / I SAw hEr stAy', admits 'I wAs AfrAid, / oN thAt dAy', names 'DoN GootiE' and 'EArL FLiNN', and ends 'wE ArE stoNEs for / good'.

The underlined good makes the ending about permanence, stones that stay, rather than a religious offering. The two names are provisional readings and the page does not establish who these people were.
