Through years or moons the inner weight to bear,

Which colder hearts endure till they are laid

By age in earth: her days and pleasures were

Brief, but delightful—such as had not stayed

Long with her destiny; but she sleeps well

By the sea-shore whereon she loved to dwell.

That isle is now all desolate and bare,

Its dwelling down, its tenants passed away;

None but her own and father’s grave is there

And nothing outward tells of human clay;
