Where sleeps the Poet in his lasting home,

Lamented Surrey!—hero, bard divine,

Pride, grace, and glory of brave Norfolk's line.

Departed spirit!—Oh! I love to hold

Communion sweet with lofty minds of old,

To catch a spark of that celestial fire

Which glows and kindles in thy rapturous lyre;

Though varying themes demand my future lays,

Yet thus my soul a willing homage pays

To that bright glory which illumes thy name,
