[Gone to his rest]
1
Gone to his restBright little Bouby!
Build green his nest
Where sun and dew be,
Nor snails molest
2
A cheerful sage,Simple, light-hearted:
In ripe old age
He had departed
And ta'en his wage.
3
Dear for himself;Dear for another
Past price of pelf;
—(Ah, dearest Mother!)—
Song-singing elf.

O daisies, growLightly above him,
Strike root, and blow:
For some who love him
Would have it so.
