The Skeleton

Title:     The Skeleton
Author: G. K. Chesterton [More Titles by Chesterton]

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.

[The end]
G K Chesterton's poem: Skeleton
