BY GOLDSMITH'S tomb the City's cry
Grows faint and distant; now no more,
From that famed street he trod of yore,
Men turn where those old Templars lie!
Only some dreamer such as I
Pauses awhile from dust and roar
BY GOLDSMITH'S tomb!
And then -- ah, then! -- when none is nigh,
What shadowy shapes, unseen before,
Troop back again from Lethe's shore! --
How the ghosts gather then, and sigh
BY GOLDSMITH'S tomb!
