    Where a green grassy turf is all I crave,
    With here and there a violet bestrown,
    Fast by a brook or fountain's murmuring wave;
    And many an evening sun shine sweetly on my grave.

And the green mountains round,
And thought that when I came to lie
At rest within the ground,
'Twere pleasant, that in flowery June
When brooks send up a cheerful tune,
And groves a joyous sound,
The sexton's hand, my grave to make,
The rich, green mountain-turf should break.
