XXIII. Grief. Forgive my grief for one removedAlfred, Lord Tennyson (18091892)
From ‘In Memoriam’
F
Thy creature, whom I found so fair.
I trust he lives in thee, and there
I find him worthier to be loved.
Confusions of a wasted youth;
Forgive them where they fail in truth,
And in thy wisdom make me wise.
