E. J. Pratt Face Poems

  • 1.
    Perched on a dead volcanic pile,
    Now charted as a submerged peak,
    Near to a moon-washed coral isle,
    A hundred leagues from Mozambique,
    ...
  • 2.
    Now it was clear to every Shade
    That some great wonder was before them,
    As Tom upon the palisade

    Though the snowdrop came,
    And the time of the cowslip is near,
    For a yellow flame
    ...

Alfred Lord Tennyson Poem
In Memoriam A. H. H. OBIIT MDCCCXXXIII: Part 073
 by Alfred Lord Tennyson

So many worlds, so much to do,
So little done, such things to be,

For thou wert strong as thou wert true?

The fame is quench'd that I foresaw,
The head hath miss'd an earthly wreath:
I curse not nature, no, nor death;
