TENNYSON by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: TWAS FIT THAT WITH THE FALLING YEAR
Last Line: THE THOUGHTS OF ALL.
Subject(s): TENNYSON, ALFRED (1809-1892); TENNYSON, ALFRED TENNYSON, 1ST BARON;
'Twas fit that with the falling year
He too should fall;
That he, when Nature heeds, should hear
The homeward call;
That leaves autumnal o'er his bier
Bespread the pall,
For in their funeral train appear
The thoughts of all.
