O LARGE of heart, and grand, and calm, Who held the helm of state so long, Our plaining mingles with our praise, Our sorrow sanctifies our song. Clear eyes, kind lips so silent now, Ears deaf to all our worldly din, Great soul which has not left its peer, We would the grave-sod had shut in Some lesser man, and we, to-day, Had thy strong will to urge us on, Thy brain to plan, thy hand to help, Thy cheerful voice to say "well done!" But whatsoe'er we do of good, In doing it we honor thee; We follow where our leader led, -- Can he look down from Heaven and see? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT MIDSUMMER by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON HIC JACET by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON LAUS VENERIS (A PICTURE BY BURNE-JONES) by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON LOUISA MAY ALCOTT by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON LOVE'S RESURRECTION DAY by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON THE LAST GOODBYE by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON THE SHADOW DANCE by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON TO-NIGHT by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON A CRY by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON A DEAD POET; QUATRAIN by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON A DREAM IN THE NIGHT; TO MY MOTHER by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON |
