England now mourns for her poet that's gone-<br>The late and the good Lord Tennyson.<br>I hope his soul has fled to heaven above,<br>Where there is everlasting joy and love. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">He was a man that didn't care for company,<br>Because company interfered with his study,<br>And confused the bright ideas in his brain,<br>And for that reason from company he liked to abstain. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">He has written some fine pieces of poetry in his time,<br>Especially the May Queen, which is really sublime;<br>Also the gallant charge of the Light Brigade-<br>A most heroic poem, and beautifully made. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">He believed in the Bible, also in Shakspeare,<br>Which he advised young men to read without any fear;<br>And by following the advice of both works therein,<br>They would seldom or never commit any sin. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Lord Tennyson's works are full of the scenery of his boyhood,<br>And during his life all his actions were good;<br>And Lincolnshire was closely associated with his history,<br>And he has done what Wordsworth did for the Lake Country. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">His remains now rest in Westminster Abbey,<br>And his funeral was very impressive to see;<br>It was a very touching sight, I must confess,<br>Every class, from the Queen, paying a tribute to the poet's greatness. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">The pall-bearers on the right of the coffin were Mr W. E. H. Lecky,<br>And Professor Butler, Master of Trinity, and the Earl of Rosebery;<br>And on the left were Mr J. A. Froude and the Marquis of Salisbury,<br>Also Lord Selborne, which was an imposing sight to see. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">There were also on the left Professor Jowett,<br>Besides Mr Henry Whyte and Sir James Paget,<br>And the Marquis of DufFerin and the Duke of Argyll,<br>And Lord Salisbury, who seemed melancholy all the while. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">The chief mourners were all of the Tennyson family,<br>Including the Hon. Mr and Mrs Hallam Tennyson, and Masters Lionel and Aubrey,<br>And Mr Arthur Tennyson, and Mr and Mrs Horatio Tennyson;<br>Also Sir Andrew dark, who was looking woe begone. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">The bottom of the grave was thickly strewn with white roses,<br>And for such a grave kings will sigh where the poet now reposes;<br>And many of the wreaths were much observed and commented upon,<br>And conspicuous amongst them was one from Mrs Gladstone. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">The Gordon boys were there looking solemn and serene,<br>Also Sir Henry Ponsonby to represent the Queen;<br>Likewise Henry Irving, the great tragedian,<br>With a solemn aspect, and driving his brougham. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And, in conclusion, I most earnestly pray,<br>That the people will erect a monument for him without delay,<br>To commemorate the good work he has done,<br>And his name in gold letters written thereon!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=William+Topaz+McGonagall">William Topaz McGonagall</a><div class=q>
