Poem by Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Sestet

Sent to a friend with a volume of Tennyson

Wouldst thou know the knightly clash of steel on steel?
Or list the throstle singing loud and clear?
Or walk at twilight by some haunted mere
In Surrey; or in throbbing London feel
Life's pulse at highest—hark, the minster's peal!...
Turn but the page, that various world is here!

1. Sweetheart, Sigh No More
2. The Undiscovered Country
3. At the Funeral of a Minor Poet
4. Hesperides
5. Palabras Cariñosas
