Gone to his rest Bright little Bouby! Build green his nest Where sun and dew be. Nor snails molest A cheerful sage, Simple, light-hearted: In ripe old age He had departed Andf tak'n his wage. Dear for himself; Dear for another Past price of pelf - (Ah, Dearest Mother!) - Song-singing elf. O daisies, grow Lightly above him, Strike root, aand below: For some who love him Would have it so. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GULLS LAND AND CEASE TO BE by JOHN CIARDI ON A CAPE MAY WARBLER WHO FLEW AGAINST MY WINDOW by EAMON GRENNAN THE LIFE OF TOWNS: WOLF TOWN by ANNE CARSON BUCOLIC COMEDY: COUNTRY COUSIN: VARIATION 1 by EDITH SITWELL IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BED OF FORGET-ME-NOTS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BETTER RESURRECTION by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BIRTHDAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
