Alfred Tennyson Quotes

What Hope Is Here For Modern Rhyme
To Him, Who Turns A Musing Eye
On Songs, And Deeds, And Lives, That Lie
Foreshorten'd In The Tract Of Time?


These Mortal Lullabies Of Pain
May Bind A Book, May Line A Box,
May Serve To Curl A Maiden's Locks;
Or When A Thousand Moons Shall Wane


A Man Upon A Stall May Find,
And, Passing, Turn The Page That Tells
A Grief, Then Changed To Something Else,
Sung By A Long-forgotten Mind.


But What Of That? My Darken'd Ways
Shall Ring With Music All The Same;
To Breathe My Loss Is More Than Fame,
To Utter Love More Sweet Than Praise.
