Epitaph On A Lap-Dog
epitaph on a lap-dog
named echo
in wood and wild, ye warbling throng,
your heavy loss deplore;
now, half extinct your powers of song,
sweet echo is no more.
ye jarring, screeching things around,
scream your discordant joys;
now, half your din of tuneless sound
with echo silent lies.
