A Legend of Old Persia and Other Poems

by A. B. S. Tennyson

And the seawinds whistle shrill.

The dead are happy, for they are free

They have said farewell to misery,

Alone

Each under a stone;

But the hearts which mourn for a faithless friend

Can never, never, never mend,

And so they break for friendship's sake

Alone, alone, alone."
