This song is specially addressed to Toneennili, the water sprinkler.
"Now, be brave," he said to her, while a shudder ran through his own frame. They gazed on the scene. The narrow coffin was bathed in sunshine. At the foot of it, on a lace cushion, was a silver crucifix. To the left the holy-water sprinkler lay in its font. The tall wax tapers were burning with almost invisible flames.
