Beneath this marble mute of praise	A
Is hushed the heart of One	B
Who whilst it beat had eagle's gaze	A
To stare upon the sun	B
Equal in flight	C
To any height	C
He lies where they that crawl but come	D
Sleeping most sound Cor Cordium	D
	-
No rippling notes announcing spring	E
No bloom evoking breeze	F
No fleecy clouds that earnest bring	E
Of summer on the seas	F
Avail to wake	G
The heart whose ache	G
Was to be tender overmuch	G
To Nature's every tone and touch	G
	-
The insolence of stranger drum	D
Vexing the broad blue air	H
To smite a nation's clamour dumb	D
Or spur a rash despair	H
Which once had wrung	I
That prophet tongue	I
To challenge force or cheer the slave	J
Rolls unrebuked around his grave	J
	-
The cruel clarion's senseless bray	K
The lamb's half human bleat	C
Patter of shower on sward or spray	K
Or clang of mail d feet	C
Are weak alike	L
To stir or strike	L
The once swift voice that now is dumb	D
To war's reveil cicala's hum	D
	-
Oh wake dead heart come back indeed	C
Come back Thy thunderous brow	M
And levin shafts the world did need	C
Never so much as now	M
The chain the rack	N
The hopes kept back	N
By those whom serfs are forced to trust	C
Might well reanimate thy dust	C
	-
Nay Poet rest thou quiet there	H
'Neath sunshine wind and rain	O
At least if thou canst scarce repair	H
Thou dost not share our pain	O
It is enough	P
That cold rebuff	P
And calumny of knave and dunce	F
Did vex thy tender spirit once	F
	-
Where was the marvel though thy corse	F
Submitted to the pyre	Q
Thy heart of hearts should foil the force	F
Of the sea wind blown fire	Q
It was but just	C
That what was dust	C
Should own the cradle whence it came	D
But when did flame e'er feed on flame	D
	-
Or rather say the sacred torch	G
The while it did illume	D
Thy heart did also so far scorch	G
Was nought left to consume	D
That ardent zeal	R
For human weal	R
Had searched and parched it o'er and o'er	Q
Till lava like 'twould burn no more	S
	-
I snatch the banner from thy grave	J
I wave the torch on high	T
'Spite smiling tyrant crouching slave	J
The Cause shall never die	T
Sceptre and cowl	R
May smite or scowl	R
Serfs hug the chains they half deserve	U
Right cannot miss howe'er it swerve	U
	-
Alas you failed who were so strong	V
Shall I succeed so weak	W
Life grows still shorter art more long	V
You sang I scarce can speak	W
Promethean fire	Q
Within your lyre	X
Made manly words with music mate	C
Whilst I am scarce articulate	C
	-
He sang too early to be heard	C
The world is drowsy still	R
And only those whose sleep is stirred	C
By lines that streak the hill	R
Or the first notes	F
Of matin throats	F
Have heard his strain 'mid hush of night	C
And known it harbinger of Light	C
	-
But when the Day shall come whose dawn	Y
He early did forbode	C
When men by Knowledge shall be drawn	Y
Not driven by the goad	C
This spot apart	C
Where sleeps his heart	C
Deaf to all clamour wrong or rage	Z
Shall be their choicest pilgrimage	A2
