So should it be: let o’er this grave No monumental banners wave; Let no word speak--no trophy tell Aught that may break the charming spell, By which, as on this sacred ground He kneels, the pilgrim’s heart is bound. A still, resistless influence, Unseen, but felt, binds up the sense; While every whisper seems to breathe Of the mighty dead who sleeps beneath. --And though the master-hand is cold, And though the lyre it once controlled Rests mute in death; yet from the gloom Which dwells about this holy tomb, Silence breathes out more eloquent, Than epitaph or monument. One laurel wreath--the poet’s crown-- Is here by hand unworthy thrown; One tear that so much worth should die, Fills, as I kneel, my sorrowing eye; This is the simple offering, Poor, but earnest, which I bring. The tear has dried; the wreath shall fade, The hand that twined it soon be laid In cold obstruction--but the fame Of him who tears and wreath shall claim From most remote posterity, While Britain lives, can never die!--J.
