LINES INSCRIBED ON STATUE OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT AT FROGMORE by ALFRED TENNYSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: LONG AS THE HEART BEATS LIFE WITHIN HER BREAST
Last Line: BY CHILDREN OF THE CHILDREN OF THY CHILD.

LONG as the heart beats life within her breast,
Thy child will bless thee, guardian mother mild,
And far away thy memory will be blest
By children of the children of thy child.
