A worker's funeral

The grave you're in, hand-measured
Is the least bargain you got from life
It's good-sized, in width as in height
It's the part you got from this homestead
It's no large grave, it's a mid-sized grave
It's the land you wanted (to see) shared
It's a large grave for you the lesser deceased
But you'll be happier than you were in the world
It's a large grave for you meagre deceased
However more than in world you'll feel at ease
It's a large grave for your meagre flesh
But when land is given, you don't open your mouth
It's the least bargain you got from life
It's the part you got from this homestead
It's the land you wanted (to see) shared
You'll be happier than you were in the world
