William Edward Hartpole Lecky. (1838–1903)

Whence has come thy lasting power.

On an old Song.

The stately ship is seen no more,
The fragile skiff attains the shore;
And while the great and wise decay,
And all their trophies pass away,
Some sudden thought, some careless rhyme,
Still floats above the wrecks of Time.

On an old Song.
