THE DEAD KNIGHT

The cleanly rush of the mountain air,

And the mumbling, grumbling humble-bees,

Are the only things that wander there.

The pitiful bones are laid at ease,

The grass has grown in his tangled hair,

And a rambling bramble binds his knees.

To shrieve his soul from the pangs of hell,

The only requiem bells that rang

Were the harebell and the heather bell.
