Epitaph on Major Dieman by Samuel Taylor Coleridge Lyrics
Know thou who walks't by, Man! that wrapp'd up in lead, man,
What once was a Dieman, now lies here a dead man.
Alive a proud Major! but ah me! of our poor all,
The soul having gone, he is now merely Corporal.
What once was a Dieman, now lies here a dead man.
Alive a proud Major! but ah me! of our poor all,
The soul having gone, he is now merely Corporal.
