Charles Dickens: Gabriel Grub’s Song
Charles Dickens
(1812-1870)
Gabriel Grub’s Song
Brave lodgings for one, brave lodgings for one,
A few feet of cold earth, when life is done;
A stone at the head, a stone at the feet;
A rich, juicy meal for the worms to eat;
Rank grass overhead, and damp clay around,
Brave lodging for one, these, in holy ground!
