But, howsoe’er his lot were cast, + 

Alas! the youthful lover slain, + 

Poetical enthusiast, + 

A friendly hand thy life hath ta’en! + 

There is a spot the village near + 

Where dwelt the Muses’ worshipper, + 

Two pines have joined their tangled roots, + 

A rivulet beneath them shoots + 

Its waters to the neighbouring vale. + 

There the tired ploughman loves to lie, + 

The reaping girls approach and ply + 

Within its wave the sounding pail, + 

And by that shady rivulet + 

A simple tombstone hath been set. + 
