Lament

Listen, children:  Your father is dead.  From his old coats  I'll make you little jackets;  I'll make you little trousers  From his old pants.  There'll be in his pockets  Things he used to put there,  Keys and pennies  Covered with tobacco;  Dan shall have the pennies  To save in his bank;  Anne shall have the keys  To make a pretty noise with.  Life must go on,  And the dead be forgotten;  Life must go on,  Though good men die;  Anne, eat your breakfast;  Dan, take your medicine;  Life must go on;  I forget just why.
