First Line: Good oars, for arnold's sake
Last Line: Since he died.
Subject(s): Arnold, Matthew (1822-1888); Poetry & Poets


GOOD oars, for Arnold's sake,
By Laleham lightly bound,
And near the bank, O soft,
Darling swan!
Let not the o'erweary wake
Anew from natal ground,
But where he slumbered oft,
Slumber on.
Be less than boat or bird,
The pensive stream along;
No murmur make, nor gleam,
At his side.
Where was it he had heard
Of warfare and of wrong? --
Not there, in any dream
Since he died.
