"Body o' mine — and must I lay thee low? So long I have looked out from the deaz eye! Ears that have brought me song, and willing hands, And feet that carried me to pleasant fields — Shall dust claim all, and must I say good-bye? Godspeed!"

Thou art more wise than I, yet recketh not, Oh, soul o' mine, that I at last am tired!
