Alfred Lord Tennyson - In Memoriam A. H. H. 116
Work rating: Medium

Is it, then, regret for buried time
        That keenlier in sweet April wakes,
        And meets the year, and gives and takes
The colours of the crescent prime?
Not all: the songs, the stirring air,
        The life re-orient out of dust,
        Cry thro` the sense to hearten trust
In that which made the world so fair.
Not all regret: the face will shine
       Upon me, while I muse alone;
       And that dear voice, I once have known,
Still speak to me of me and mine:

Yet less of sorrow lives in me
       For days of happy commune dead;
       Less yearning for the friendship fled,
Than some strong bond which is to be.
