, wise, and true as truth's own heart, A soul that here Chose and held fast the better part And cast out fear, Has left us ere we dreamed of death For life so strong, Clear as the sundawn's light and breath, And sweet as song.

We see no more what here awhile Shed light on men: Has Landor seen that brave bright smile Alive again?
