The Skeleton, By: G.K. Chesterton

The Skeleton, By: G.K. Chesterton

Chattering finch and water-fly
    Are not merrier than I;
    Here among the flowers I lie
    Laughing everlastingly.
    No: I may not tell the best;
    Surely, friends, I might have guessed
    Death was but the good King’s jest,
    It was hid so carefully.
