I buried a man yesterday
who was a friend of mine.
His spirit was quite bright and gay,
his outlook always fine.
We spent a lot of time together
my friend and I myself;
for tho' he was a cheerful type
we both were on the shelf.
Of course that wasn't really bad
for one of peace like me,
but sometimes life was very sad -
too dull for one like he.
And really he'd already died
for his poor heart was broken.
Tho' many girls who met him tried,
his loves were purely token.
But now, tho' he is set apart,
he is no more alone:
for now his is a mended heart
and his a spirit throne.
