Présentation de l'éditeur
A pril, that made and took him, comes once more To that fair Undercliflf he loved so well And truly, cliff and crag and rock-strewn shore, And to the garden-graves of one sweet dell Where, deaf to love that clung and prayed and wept, (W hile this fair world its Easter sabbath kept) Twelve moons ago, he laid him down and slept. A round in grassy nook and tangled brake Primrose and violet begin to peer, And celandines wide star-bright eyes awake; And all the woods are vocal far and near The air is filled with Life sreviving hum; The time of many singing-birds is come; Only our Singers lips and lyre are dumb. The fame he craved not, courted not, abides. The songs he sang shall hardly pass away While Culver sstark white steep withstands the tides, Or Httle children in the Landslip play As once he played there: eve and crystal dawn Seem goodlier now on shore and sea and lawn That hence such music and such might were drawn. But fairer than the light on field and foam, And brighter than his fame which fills the land, His love of kindred and his love of home And all things crue and beautiful, shall stand I mmortal; and the mists of pain and gloom Approach not, nor shall mar the fadeless bloom Of Love that hallows and that guards his tomb. M.C.J.L. A pril JO, igoQ.
