Public Domain Poetry And Stories - The Skeleton by Gilbert Keith Chesterton Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
Chattering finch and water-fly
Are not merrier than I;
Here among the flowers I lie
Laughing everlastingly.
No: I may not tell the best;
Surely, friends, I might have guessed
Death was but the good King's jest,
It was hid so carefully.
