SEVEN YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH	A
	-
I shiver Spirit fierce and bold	B
At thought of what I now behold	B
As vapours breathed from dungeons cold	B
Strike pleasure dead	C
So sadness comes from out the mould	B
Where Burns is laid	D
	-
And have I then thy bones so near	E
And thou forbidden to appear	E
As if it were thyself that's here	F
I shrink with pain	G
And both my wishes and my fear	E
Alike are vain	G
	-
Off weight nor press on weight away	H
Dark thoughts they came but not to stay	H
With chastened feelings would I pay	H
The tribute due	I
To him and aught that hides his clay	H
From mortal view	I
	-
Fresh as the flower whose modest worth	J
He sang his genius glinted forth	K
Rose like a star that touching earth	J
For so it seems	L
Doth glorify its humble birth	J
With matchless beams	L
	-
The piercing eye the thoughtful brow	M
The struggling heart where be they now	M
Full soon the Aspirant of the plough	M
The prompt the brave	N
Slept with the obscurest in the low	O
And silent grave	N
	-
I mourned with thousands but as one	P
More deeply grieved for He was gone	Q
Whose light I hailed when first it shone	R
And showed my youth	S
How Verse may build a princely throne	R
On humble truth	S
	-
Alas where'er the current tends	T
Regret pursues and with it blends	T
Huge Criffel's hoary top ascends	T
By Skiddaw seen	U
Neighbours we were and loving friends	T
We might have been	V
	-
True friends though diversely inclined	W
But heart with heart and mind with mind	W
Where the main fibres are entwined	W
Through Nature's skill	X
May even by contraries be joined	Y
More closely still	X
	-
The tear will start and let it flow	O
Thou poor Inhabitant below	O
At this dread moment even so	O
Might we together	Z
Have sate and talked where gowans blow	O
Or on wild heather	Z
	-
What treasures would have then been placed	A2
Within my reach of knowledge graced	A2
By fancy what a rich repast	A2
But why go on	B2
Oh spare to sweep thou mournful blast	A2
His grave grass grown	R
	-
There too a Son his joy and pride	A2
Not three weeks past the Stripling died	A2
Lies gathered to his Father's side	A2
Soul moving sight	A2
Yet one to which is not denied	A2
Some sad delight	A2
	-
For 'he' is safe a quiet bed	A2
Hath early found among the dead	A2
Harboured where none can be misled	A2
Wronged or distrest	A2
And surely here it may be said	A2
That such are blest	A2
	-
And oh for Thee by pitying grace	C2
Checked oft times in a devious race	C2
May He who halloweth the place	C2
Where Man is laid	A2
Receive thy Spirit in the embrace	C2
For which it prayed	A2
	-
Sighing I turned away but ere	D2
Night fell I heard or seemed to hear	F
Music that sorrow comes not near	E
A ritual hymn	E2
Chaunted in love that casts out fear	E
By Seraphim	F2
