The Peasants Return
By William Barnes (18011886)

He hastened happy to her door,
But found the old folk only two
With no more footsteps on the floor
To walk again below the skies

For she wer gone from earthly eyes
To be a-kept in darksome sleep
Until the good again do rise
A joy to souls they left to weep.

The moth did eat her Sunday cape;
Her frock were out of fashion now;
Her shoes were dried up out of shape.
