High travelling winds by royal hill	A
Their awful anthem sing	B
And songs exalted flow and fill	A
The caverns of the spring	B
	-
To night across a wild wet plain	C
A shadow sobs and strays	D
The trees are whispering in the rain	C
Of long departed days	D
	-
I cannot say what forest saith	E
Its words are strange to me	F
I only know that in its breath	E
Are tones that used to be	F
	-
Yea in these deep dim solitudes	D
I hear a sound I know	G
The voice that lived in Penrith woods	D
Twelve weary years ago	G
	-
And while the hymn of other years	D
Is on a listening land	H
The Angel of the Past appears	D
And leads me by the hand	H
	-
And takes me over moaning wave	I
And tracts of sleepless change	J
To set me by a lonely grave	I
Within a lonely range	J
	-
The halo of the beautiful	K
Is round the quiet spot	L
The grass is deep and green and cool	M
Where sound of life is not	L
	-
Here in this lovely lap of bloom	N
The grace of glen and glade	O
That tender days and nights illume	N
My gentle friend was laid	O
	-
I do not mark the shell that lies	D
Beneath the touching flowers	D
I only see the radiant eyes	D
Of other scenes and hours	D
	-
I only turn by grief inspired	P
Like some forsaken thing	B
To look upon a life retired	Q
As hushed Bethesda s spring	B
	-
The glory of unblemished days	D
Is on the silent mound	R
The light of years too pure for praise	D
I kneel on holy ground	R
	-
Here is the clay of one whose mind	S
Was fairer than the dew	T
The sweetest nature of his kind	S
I haply ever knew	T
	-
This Christian walking on the white	U
Clear paths apart from strife	V
Kept far from all the heat and light	U
That fills his father s life	V
	-
The clamour and exceeding flame	N
Were never in his days	D
A higher object was his aim	N
Than thrones of shine and praise	D
	-
Ah like an English April psalm	N
That floats by sea and strand	H
He passed away into the calm	N
Of the Eternal Land	H
	-
The chair he filled is set aside	W
Upon his father s floor	X
In morning hours at eventide	W
His step is heard no more	X
	-
No more his face the forest knows	D
His voice is of the past	W
But from his life of beauty flows	D
A radiance that will last	W
	-
Yea from the hours that heard his speech	Y
High shining mem ries give	Z
That fine example which will teach	Y
Our children how to live	A2
	-
Here kneeling in the body far	B2
From grave of flower and dew	W
My friend beyond the path of star	B2
I say these words to you	W
	-
Though you were as a fleeting flame	N
Across my road austere	C2
The memory of your face became	N
A thing for ever dear	C2
	-
I never have forgotten yet	W
The Christian s gentle touch	D2
And since the time when last we met	W
You know I ve suffered much	D2
	-
I feel that I have given pain	C
By certain words and deeds	D
But stricken here with Sorrow s rain	C
My contrite spirit bleeds	D
	-
For your sole sake I rue the blow	G
But this assurance send	W
I smote in noon the public foe	G
But not the private friend	W
	-
I know that once I wronged your sire	E2
But since that awful day	W
My soul has passed through blood and fire	E2
My head is very grey	W
	-
Here let me pause From years like yours	D
There ever flows and thrives	D
The splendid blessing which endures	D
Beyond our little lives	D
	-
From lonely lands across the wave	I
Is sent to night by me	N
This rose of reverence for the grave	I
Beside the mountain lea	N
