XXIII. Grief
‘Forgive my grief for one removed’

By Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892)


From ‘In Memoriam’ FORGIVE my grief for one removed,
Thy creature, whom I found so fair.
I trust he lives in thee, and there
I find him worthier to be loved.

Forgive these wild and wandering cries,	5
Confusions of a wasted youth;
Forgive them where they fail in truth,
And in thy wisdom make me wise.
