First Line: As here among the well-remembering boughs
Last Line: Glowing, the light of memory on her brows.
Subject(s): Memory; Oxford, England
As here among the well-remembering boughs
Where every leaf is tongue to ancient breath,
Speech of the yesteryears forgathereth,
And all the winds are long-fulfillèd vows —
So from of old those ringing names arouse
A whispering in the foliate shades of death
Where History her golden rosary saith,
Glowing, the light of Memory on her brows.
