Pall bearers Hedgehogs at
The funeral of the Ant.
A Squirrel played slovenly
A saddening violin:
Played slowly
Slowly.
Owls, nightingales, on foot
Glow-worms, (for it was night) ,
Insects and the rest
All lined
The way of the bier
A handsome funeral!
The while
Continued playing slow
The slovenly violin.
No false tears shed.
Slow
They laid her in a half-inch
Grave
Deep half-inch
Only.
