THIS land was once the Northmen's rest, And here the Virgin's house was blest With a sweet peace through lost years wrought: O, in these weary years of nought, May we who now this hearth-fire light Learn somewhat of that old delight, Which, cherished in this drowsy grange, Shall help the outworn world to change. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEDICATIONS AND INSCRIPTIONS: 6.
