Robert Southey - Sonnet 04Robert Southey - Sonnet 04
Work rating: Low


What tho` no sculptur`d monument proclaim  Thy fate-yet Albert in my breast I bear Inshrin`d the sad remembrance; yet thy name  Will fill my throbbing bosom. When DESPAIR The child of murdered HOPE, fed on thy heart,  Loved honored friend, I saw thee sink forlorn Pierced to the soul by cold Neglect`s keen dart,  And Penury`s hard ills, and pitying Scorn, And the dark spectre of departed JOY  Inhuman MEMORY. Often on thy grave Love I the solitary hour to employ Thinking on other days; and heave the sigh  Responsive, when I mark the high grass wave Sad sounding as the cold breeze rustles by.
