Epitaph

Aubrey Thomas de Vere (1814–1902)

HE roam’d half-round the world of woe,

Where toil and labour never cease;

Then dropp’d one little span below

In search of peace.

And now to him mild beams and showers,

All that he needs to grace his tomb,

From loneliest regions at all hours,

Unsought-for, come.
