<h5 id="id00351">(WITH APOLOGIES TO ARIEL)</h5>
<p id="id00352">Five inches deep Sir Goldfish lies,<br/>
Here last September was he laid,<br/>
Poppies these that were his eyes,<br/>
Of fish-bones were these bluebells made.<br/>
His fins of gold that to and fro<br/>
Waved and waved so long ago,<br/>
Still as petals wave and wave<br/>
To and fro above his grave.<br/>
Hearken too! for so his knell<br/>
Tolls all day each tiny bell.<br/></p>
