Alfred, Lord Tennyson (18091892)Extracts from In Memoriam: There rolls the deep where grew the tree
O earth, what changes hast thou seen!
There where the long street roars, hath been
The stillness of the central sea.
From form to form, and nothing stands;
They melt like mist, the solid lands,
Like clouds they shape themselves and go.
And dream my dream, and hold it true;
For tho’ my lips may breathe adieu,
I cannot think the thing farewell.
