And so to rest my tired eyes on hills far away from my battle cries , where love and hope their pastures rise , and so to sleep and rest my case , the fall of man their human race , that life should be but twice the pace , that my dreams whenst I awake should ever be fortold ? A porpers tale that i should take a crumb of bread from my masters plate
For my bones are tired , and the birds that once found their nests in my ribs have Taken to flight a long time ago . And so , now rats naw on my morbid friend , and nettle and daisy are my corpses new. guests to reclaim what man once called his own , that man should be but skin and bone!
For grave lies cold it’s chambers bare , but alas I have a saviour who does not lie here , where decay and rotting flesh may not be found , somewhere with mansions built on holy ground .
Somewhere far away from this place for when my body with rigomortis lie , and underground catacombs their corpes still! unmoved unbowed unto this earths decaying will .
And soon the ground in which I lay will be built apon in brick and hay , and I shall be forgotten one sunny day , And aye I cast my cap to him a porper bring a crown to honour My heavenly King
