VI

by Alfred, Lord Tennyson · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880
Part of New-Year's Eve

Upon the chancel-casement, and upon that grave o' mine,

In the early early morning the summer sun 'ill shine,

Before the red cock crows from the farm upon the hill,

When you are warm-asleep, mother, and all the world is still.
