 Ay, 't was the soul that moved, delighted him,

Absorbed his care,

From early days in English Camberwell

To that far hour when tolled for him a knell,

Mournful across the deep, from Venice the all fair.

Voiceless he sleeps, his giant task performed;

But in his stead,

Brave Caponsacchi, poignantly alive,

Pippa, beloved Pompilia, and Clive,

Forbid the world to think of him as dead!
