6777 Alfred Tennyson Tennyson 1809-1892 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:6777
AUTHOR:Alfred Tennyson Tennyson (1809–1892)
QUOTATION:  Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean.
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy autumn-fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more.
ATTRIBUTION:The Princess. Part iv. Line 21.
