When first descending from the moorlandsA
I saw the Stream of Yarrow glideB
Along a bare and open valleyC
The Ettrick Shepherd was my guideB
-
When last along its banks I wanderedD
Through groves that had begun to shedE
Their golden leaves upon the pathwaysF
My steps the Border minstrel ledE
-
The mighty Minstrel breathes no longerG
'Mid mouldering ruins low he liesH
And death upon the braes of YarrowI
Has closed the Shepherd poet's eyesH
-
Nor has the rolling year twice measuredD
From sign to sign its stedfast courseJ
Since every mortal power of ColeridgeK
Was frozen at its marvellous sourceJ
-
The rapt One of the godlike foreheadE
The heaven eyed creature sleeps in earthL
And Lamb the frolic and the gentleM
Has vanished from his lonely hearthN
-
Like clouds that rake the mountain summitsO
Or waves that own no curbing handP
How fast has brother followed brotherG
From sunshine to the sunless landP
-
Yet I whose lids from infant slumberG
Were earlier raised remain to hearQ
A timid voice that asks in whispersR
Who next will drop and disappearS
-
Our haughty life is crowned with darknessT
Like London with its own black wreathU
On which with thee O Crabbe forth lookingV
I gazed from Hampstead's breezy heathU
-
As if but yesterday departedW
Thou too art gone before but whyX
O'er ripe fruit seasonably gatheredD
Should frail survivors heave a sighX
-
Mourn rather for that holy SpiritY
Sweet as the spring as ocean deepZ
For Her who ere her summer fadedW
Has sunk into a breathless sleepZ
-
No more of old romantic sorrowsA2
For slaughtered Youth or love lorn MaidB2
With sharper grief is Yarrow smittenC2
And Ettrick mourns with her their Poet deadE
