Maxioms by Lord Alfred Tennyson
We keep the day. With festal cheer,
With books and music, surely we
Will drink to him, read more
We keep the day. With festal cheer,
With books and music, surely we
Will drink to him, whate'er he be,
And sing the songs he loved to hear.
Steps with a tender foot, light as on air,
The lovely, lordly creature floated on.
Steps with a tender foot, light as on air,
The lovely, lordly creature floated on.
Darker than darkest pansies.
Darker than darkest pansies.
Never morning wore
To evening, but some heart did break.
Never morning wore
To evening, but some heart did break.
And there they placed a peacock in his pride,
Before the damsel.
And there they placed a peacock in his pride,
Before the damsel.
