I have on hand an old book of poems called "Poems I Remember," compiled by John Kieran. In it, there is the poem "Old Grimes" by Albert G. Greene. It goes, "Old Grimes is dead, that good old man,-/We ne'er shall see him more;/He used to wear a long black coat,/all buttoned down before." There are several more verses, the last being, "Thus undisturbed by anxious cares/His peaceful moments ran;/And everybody said he was/A fine old gentleman."
Albert G. Greene lived from 1802-68, and here is the link to the online format of the original book.

I hope this helps! Good luck!
