Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD| Take to thy bosom gentle earth a swain | A |
| With much hard labor in thy service worn | B |
| He set the vines that clothe yon ample plain | A |
| And he these olives that the vale adorn | B |
| He fill'd with grain the glebe the rills he led | C |
| Through this green herbage and those fruitful bowers | D |
| Thou therefore earth lie lightly on his head | C |
| His hoary head and deck his grave with flowers | D |
William Cowper
