DEAD it was like a thunderbolt	A
To hear that he was dead	B
Though for long weeks the words of fear	C
Came from his dying bed	B
Yet hope denied and would deny	D
We did not think that he could die	D
	-
The poet has a glorious hold	E
Upon the human heart	F
Yet glory is from sympathy	G
A light alone apart	F
But there was something in thy name	H
Which touched us with a dearer claim	H
	-
The earnest feeling borne to thee	G
Was like a household tie	D
A sunshine on our common life	I
And from our daily sky	D
Thy works are those familiar things	J
From which so much of memory springs	J
	-
We talked of them beside the hearth	K
Till every story blends	L
With some remembered intercourse	M
Of near and dearest friends	L
Friends that in early youth were ours	N
Connected with life's happiest hours	N
	-
How well I can recall the time	O
When first I turned thy page	P
The green boughs closed above my head	B
A natural hermitage	Q
And sang a little brook along	R
As if it heard and caught thy song	R
	-
I peopled all the walks and shades	S
With images of thine	T
The lime tree was a lady's bower	U
The yew tree was a shrine	T
Almost I deemed each sunbeam shone	V
O'er banner spear and morion	V
	-
	-
Now not one single trace is left	W
Of that sequestered nook	X
The very course is turned aside	Y
Of that melodious brook	X
Not so the memories can depart	F
Then garner'd in my inmost heart	F
The past was his his generous song	R
Went back to other days	Z
With filial feeling which still sees	A2
Something to love and praise	Z
And closer drew the ties which bind	B2
Man with his country and his kind	B2
	-
It rang throughout his native land	C2
A bold and stirring song	R
As the merle's hymn at matin sweet	D2
And as the trumpet strong	R
A touch there was of each degree	G
Half minstrel and half knight was he	G
	-
How many a lonely mountain glade	E2
Lives in his verse anew	V
Linked with associate sympathy	G
The tender and the true	V
For nature has fresh beauty brought	F2
When animate with life from thought	F2
	-
'Tis not the valley nor the hill	G2
Tho' beautiful they be	G
That can suffice the heart till touched	H2
As they were touched by thee	G
Thou who didst glorify the whole	I2
By pouring forth the poet's soul	I2
	-
Who now could stand upon the banks	J2
Of thine own 'silver Tweed '	-
Nor deem they heard thy 'warrior's horn '	-
Or heard thy 'shepherd's reed '	-
Immutable as Nature's claim	H
The ground is hallowed by thy name	H
	-
I cannot bear to see the shelf	K2
Where ranged thy volumes stand	C2
And think that mute is now thy lip	L2
And cold is now thy hand	C2
That hadst thou been more common clay	M2
So soon thou hadst not passed sway	M2
	-
For thou didst die before thy time	O
The tenement o'erwrought	C2
The heart consumed by its desire	U
The body worn by thought	C2
Thyself the victim of thy shrine	V
A glorious sacrifice was thine	V
	-
Alas it is too soon for this	N2
The future for thy fame	H
But now we mourn as if we mourned	C2
A father's cherished claim	H
Ah time may bid the laurel wave	O2
We can but weep above thy grave	O2
