"You'll say he fell in the flood, St Maur,
But you'll not deceive yoursel',
For you've lost the bonniest thing you had,
And you'll remember well.
"Your wife will mourn him a year, St Maur,
You'll mourn him all your life,
For you've lost the bonniest thing you had,
Better than bairns or wife."
——-A. M. F. Robinson (Darmesteter).
