| |
| GOOD oars, for Arnold’s sake, | |
| By Laleham lightly bound, | |
| And near the bank, O soft, | |
| Darling swan! | |
| Let not the o’erweary wake | 5 |
| Anew from natal ground, | |
| But where he slumbered oft, | |
| Slumber on. | |
| |
| Be less than boat or bird, | |
| The pensive stream along; | 10 |
| No murmur make, nor gleam, | |
| At his side. | |
| Where was it he had heard | |
| Of warfare and of wrong?— | |
| Not there, in any dream | 15 |
| Since he died. | |
