A place upon thy Poet's grave | B |
I welcome thee once more | C |
But He who was on land at sea | D |
My Brother too in loving thee | D |
Although he loved more silently | D |
Sleeps by his native shore | C |
- | |
Ah hopeful hopeful was the day | E |
When to that Ship he bent his way | E |
To govern and to guide | F |
His wish was gained a little time | G |
Would bring him back in manhood's prime | G |
And free for life these hills to climb | G |
With all his wants supplied | F |
- | |
And full of hope day followed day | E |
While that stout Ship at anchor lay | E |
Beside the shores of Wight | H |
The May had then made all things green | I |
And floating there in pomp serene | I |
That Ship was goodly to be seen | I |
His pride and his delight | H |
- | |
Yet then when called ashore he sought | J |
The tender peace of rural thought | J |
In more than happy mood | K |
To your abodes bright daisy Flowers | L |
He then would steal at leisure hours | L |
And loved you glittering in your bowers | L |
A starry multitude | K |
- | |
But hark the word the ship is gone | M |
Returns from her long course anon | M |
Sets sail in season due | N |
Once more on English earth they stand | O |
But when a third time from the land | O |
They parted sorrow was at hand | O |
For Him and for his crew | N |
- | |
Ill fated Vessel ghastly shock | P |
At length delivered from the rock | P |
The deep she hath regained | Q |
And through the stormy night they steer | R |
Labouring for life in hope and fear | R |
To reach a safer shore how near | R |
Yet not to be attained | Q |
- | |
Silence the brave Commander cried | F |
To that calm word a shriek replied | F |
It was the last death shriek | S |
A few my soul oft sees that sight | H |
Survive upon the tall mast's height | H |
But one dear remnant of the night | H |
For Him in vain I seek | S |
- | |
Six weeks beneath the moving sea | D |
He lay in slumber quietly | D |
Unforced by wind or wave | B |
To quit the Ship for which he died | F |
All claims of duty satisfied | F |
And there they found him at her side | F |
And bore him to the grave | B |
- | |
Vain service yet not vainly done | M |
For this if other end were none | M |
That He who had been cast | T |
Upon a way of life unmeet | T |
For such a gentle Soul and sweet | T |
Should find an undisturbed retreat | T |
Near what he loved at last | T |
- | |
That neighbourhood of grove and field | T |
To Him a resting place should yield | T |
A meek man and a brave | B |
The birds shall sing and ocean make | U |
A mournful murmur for 'his' sake | U |
And Thou sweet Flower shalt sleep and wake | U |
Upon his senseless grave | B |
William Wordsworth
