which any man might well aspire to.
It runs like this:
When my last song is sung, and am
dead,
And laid away beneath the kindly
clay,
Set square stone above my dream

And sign me with the Cross, and
signing say
"Here ieth one who loved the stead

Of his own land, it's gladness and
it's grace,
The stumbled fields, the linnets' gleam-
ing wings,
The long low gables of his native
place,
It's graveled paths, and the strong
wind that sends
The boughs above the house, the
hearth's red glow,
The surely, slow good fellowship Of
friends,
The humour of the men he used to
And all their swinging choruses and
mirth,-
Then turn aside and leave my dust
