Hallams Grave
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson (18091892)(From In Memoriam)
W
I know that in thy place of rest
By that broad water of the west,
There comes a glory on the walls:
As slowly steals a silver flame
Along the letters of thy name,
And o’er the number of thy years.
From off my bed the moonlight dies;
And closing eaves of wearied eyes
I sleep till dusk is dipt in gray:
A lucid veil from coast to coast,
And in the chancel like a ghost
Thy tablet glimmers to the dawn.
