Hath oftener left me mourning.

The great, the base, the coward, and the brave,
All food alike for worms, companions in the grave.

Where a green grassy turf is all I crave,
With here and there a violet bestrewn,
Fast by a brook or fountain's murmuring wave;
And many an evening sun shine sweetly on my grave!
