HAIL to thee, with all good cheer! Though men say thou liest here Dead, And mourn, all uncomforted. By thy faith refining mine, Life still lights those eyes of thine, Clear As the Autumn atmosphere. Ever still thy smile appears As the rainbow of thy tears Bent O'er thy love's vast firmament. Thou endurest -- shalt endure, Purely, as thy song is pure. Hear Thus my hail: Good cheer! good cheer! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO CORINTH by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR A LOVE SONNET by GEORGE WITHER COMPOSED AT NEIDPATH CASTLE, 1803 by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH TO AN INDEPENDENT PREACHER by MATTHEW ARNOLD EDGE by CHARLOTTE FARRINGTON BABCOCK THE RING AND THE BOOK: BOOK 12.
