In the fair land o'erwatched by Ischia's mountains	A
Across the charmed bay	B
Whose blue waves keep with Capri's silver fountains	A
Perpetual holiday	B
	-
A king lies dead his wafer duly eaten	C
His gold bought masses given	C
And Rome's great altar smokes with gums to sweeten	C
Her foulest gift to Heaven	C
	-
And while all Naples thrills with mute thanksgiving	D
The court of England's queen	E
For the dead monster so abhorred while living	D
In mourning garb is seen	E
	-
With a true sorrow God rebukes that feigning	D
By lone Edgbaston's side	F
Stands a great city in the sky's sad raining	D
Bareheaded and wet eyed	F
	-
Silent for once the restless hive of labor	G
Save the low funeral tread	H
Or voice of craftsman whispering to his neighbor	G
The good deeds of the dead	H
	-
For him no minster's chant of the immortals	I
Rose from the lips of sin	J
No mitred priest swung back the heavenly portals	I
To let the white soul in	J
	-
But Age and Sickness framed their tearful faces	K
In the low hovel's door	L
And prayers went up from all the dark by places	K
And Ghettos of the poor	M
	-
The pallid toiler and the negro chattel	N
The vagrant of the street	O
The human dice wherewith in games of battle	N
The lords of earth compete	O
	-
Touched with a grief that needs no outward draping	D
All swelled the long lament	P
Of grateful hearts instead of marble shaping	D
His viewless monument	Q
	-
For never yet with ritual pomp and splendor	G
In the long heretofore	L
A heart more loyal warm and true and tender	G
Has England's turf closed o'er	G
	-
And if there fell from out her grand old steeples	I
No crash of brazen wail	R
The murmurous woe of kindreds tongues and peoples	I
Swept in on every gale	R
	-
It came from Holstein's birchen belted meadows	S
And from the tropic calms	T
Of Indian islands in the sunlit shadows	S
Of Occidental palms	T
	-
From the locked roadsteads of the Bothniaii peasants	U
And harbors of the Finn	J
Where war's worn victims saw his gentle presence	V
Come sailing Christ like in	J
	-
To seek the lost to build the old waste places	K
To link the hostile shores	W
Of severing seas and sow with England's daisies	X
The moss of Finland's moors	Y
	-
Thanks for the good man's beautiful example	N
Who in the vilest saw	Z
Some sacred crypt or altar of a temple	N
Still vocal with God's law	Z
	-
And heard with tender ear the spirit sighing	D
As from its prison cell	A2
Praying for pity like the mournful crying	D
Of Jonah out of hell	A2
	-
Not his the golden pen's or lip's persuasion	C
But a fine sense of right	B2
And Truth's directness meeting each occasion	C
Straight as a line of light	B2
	-
His faith and works like streams that intermingle	N
In the same channel ran	C2
The crystal clearness of an eye kept single	N
Shamed all the frauds of man	C2
	-
The very gentlest of all human natures	D2
He joined to courage strong	E2
And love outreaching unto all God's creatures	D2
With sturdy hate of wrong	E2
	-
Tender as woman manliness and meekness	D2
In him were so allied	F
That they who judged him by his strength or weakness	D2
Saw but a single side	F
	-
Men failed betrayed him but his zeal seemed nourished	F2
By failure and by fall	G2
Still a large faith in human kind he cherished	F2
And in God's love for all	G2
	-
And now he rests his greatness and his sweetness	D2
No more shall seem at strife	H2
And death has moulded into calm completeness	D2
The statue of his life	H2
	-
Where the dews glisten and the songbirds warble	N
His dust to dust is laid	I2
In Nature's keeping with no pomp of marble	N
To shame his modest shade	I2
	-
The forges glow the hammers all are ringing	D
Beneath its smoky vale	R
Hard by the city of his love is swinging	D
Its clamorous iron flail	R
	-
	-
But round his grave are quietude and beauty	J2
And the sweet heaven above	K2
The fitting symbols of a life of duty	J2
Transfigured into love	K2
