| | | WHERE is the grave of Sir Arthur O’Kellyn? | |
| Where may the grave of that good man be?— | |
| By the side of a spring, on the breast of Helvellyn, | |
| Under the twigs of a young birch-tree! | |
| The oak that in summer was sweet to hear, | 5 |
| And rustled its leaves in the fall of the year, | |
| And whistled and roared in the winter alone, | |
| Is gone,—and the birch in its stead is grown. | |
| The knight’s bones are dust, | |
| And his good sword rust;— | 10 |
| His soul is with the saints, I trust. | | | | |
