Sweet Flower belike one day to haveA
A place upon thy Poet's graveB
I welcome thee once moreC
But He who was on land at seaD
My Brother too in loving theeD
Although he loved more silentlyD
Sleeps by his native shoreC
-
Ah hopeful hopeful was the dayE
When to that Ship he bent his wayE
To govern and to guideF
His wish was gained a little timeG
Would bring him back in manhood's primeG
And free for life these hills to climbG
With all his wants suppliedF
-
And full of hope day followed dayE
While that stout Ship at anchor layE
Beside the shores of WightH
The May had then made all things greenI
And floating there in pomp sereneI
That Ship was goodly to be seenI
His pride and his delightH
-
Yet then when called ashore he soughtJ
The tender peace of rural thoughtJ
In more than happy moodK
To your abodes bright daisy FlowersL
He then would steal at leisure hoursL
And loved you glittering in your bowersL
A starry multitudeK
-
But hark the word the ship is goneM
Returns from her long course anonM
Sets sail in season dueN
Once more on English earth they standO
But when a third time from the landO
They parted sorrow was at handO
For Him and for his crewN
-
Ill fated Vessel ghastly shockP
At length delivered from the rockP
The deep she hath regainedQ
And through the stormy night they steerR
Labouring for life in hope and fearR
To reach a safer shore how nearR
Yet not to be attainedQ
-
Silence the brave Commander criedF
To that calm word a shriek repliedF
It was the last death shriekS
A few my soul oft sees that sightH
Survive upon the tall mast's heightH
But one dear remnant of the nightH
For Him in vain I seekS
-
Six weeks beneath the moving seaD
He lay in slumber quietlyD
Unforced by wind or waveB
To quit the Ship for which he diedF
All claims of duty satisfiedF
And there they found him at her sideF
And bore him to the graveB
-
Vain service yet not vainly doneM
For this if other end were noneM
That He who had been castT
Upon a way of life unmeetT
For such a gentle Soul and sweetT
Should find an undisturbed retreatT
Near what he loved at lastT
-
That neighbourhood of grove and fieldT
To Him a resting place should yieldT
A meek man and a braveB
The birds shall sing and ocean makeU
A mournful murmur for 'his' sakeU
And Thou sweet Flower shalt sleep and wakeU
Upon his senseless graveB

William Wordsworth
