A NEW TRANSLATION, WITH A BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY, 85 t By CONNOP THIRLWALL, D.D. LORD BISHOP OF ST DAVID'S, AND TO THE MEMORY OF JULIUS CHARLES HARE, M.A. FRIENDS in your boyhood, when the dawn was bright, Friends even yet, though one has passed away To join the children of the Lord of Light! Long since ye roamed each vale, and climbed each height, Tracked the young stream of Rome's imperial might. And wilt not scorn, scant offering though they be, Would that my faltering speech were worthler thee! LLANDILO, August 29th, 1865. |
