"Then he fell like the leaves of your favourite tree,
But when the long winter is o'er,
Old William again on the hills shall we see
A feeding his flock as before?"
"Ah, no! my sweet boy!—the dead wander no more
In the bounds of this wind-wasted scene;
But to regions immortal all good spirits soar,
More lovely, more lasting, and green."
