...
Thou
silly thing, off to thy daisies go!
Mine was not news
for the child to know,
And Death--no
ears hath, He hath supped where creep
Eyeless worms in
hush of sleep;
Yet, when he smiles,
the hand he draws
Athwart his grinning
jaws--
Faintly the thin
bones rattle, and--there, there!
Hearken how my bells
in the air
Drive away care!...
