Nec turpem senectamA

-
Not to be tuneless in old ageC
Ah surely blest his pilgrimageD
Who in his Winter's snowE
Still sings with note as sweet and clearF
As in the morning of the yearF
When the first violets blowE
-
Blest but more blest whom Summer's heatG
Whom Spring's impulsive stir and beatG
Have taught no feverish lureH
Whose Muse benignant and sereneI
Still keeps his Autumn chaplet greenI
Because his verse is pureH
-
Lie calm O white and laureate headJ
Lie calm O Dead that art not deadJ
Since from the voiceless graveK
Thy voice shall speak to old and youngL
While song yet speaks an English tongueL
By Charles' or Thamis' waveK

Henry Austin Dobson
