ABSTRACT

Rennell Rodd (Lord Rennell). From Songs in the South, 1881. He had the poet’s eyes, – Sing to him sleeping, – Sweet grace of low replies, – Why are we weeping? He had the gentle ways, – Fair dreams befall him! – Beauty through all his days, – Then why recall him? – That which in him was fair Still shall be ours: Yet, yet my heart lies there Under the flowers.
