DEAN LIDDELL (CHRIST CHURCH), by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE First Line: Dear crown of manliness and fervid truth! Last Line: An influence breathing of a life complete. Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles Subject(s): Liddell, Henry George (1811-1898) | |||
DEAR crown of manliness and fervid truth! Thy gentle reign of over thirty years Is drawing to its close, and stifled tears Attest the sorrows of our heyday youth. Have we no words to tell our bitter ruth?— Silence reveals what the still heart reveres. A living memory of our past arrears Leaves us benumb'd—yea, dumb in very sooth. Our grief is one with thine, dear Master-friend, For we shall miss thee at thy wonted seat. Tho' other minds may claim our reverence meet, And other guides may on our steps attend, Thy spirit will go with us to the end— An influence breathing of a life complete. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LIDDELL AND SCOTT, ON THE COMPLETION OF THEIR LEXICON by THOMAS HARDY FOURTH OF JULY by RICHARD WILBUR A DULL DAY IN SEPTEMBER by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE A HYMN OF SLEEP by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE A MAXIM FOR EVERY DAY by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE A WOMAN'S FALL by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE AD ASTRA: 1 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE AD ASTRA: 10 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE AD ASTRA: 100 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE AD ASTRA: 101 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE |
