YONDER chapel, on the mountain, Looks upon a vale of joy; There, below, by moss and fountain, Gaily sings the herdsman's boy. Hark! Upon the breeze descending, Sound of dirge and funeral bell; And the boy, his song suspending, Listens, gazing from the dell. Homeward to the grave they're bringing Forms that graced the peaceful vale; Youthful herdsman, gaily singing! Thus they'll chant thy funeral wail. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR A' THAT AND A' THAT by CHARLES WILLIAM SHIRLEY BROOKS L.E.L.'S LAST QUESTION by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING WHEN DE CO'N PONE'S HOT by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR AFTER THE WAR by RICHARD THOMAS LE GALLIENNE SA-CA-GA-WE-A; THE INDIAN GIRL WHO GUIDED LEWIS AND CLARK by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR MUIOPOTMOS, OR THE FATE OF THE BUTTERFLIE by EDMUND SPENSER |
