Thomas Kibble Hervey Quotes

• I know thou art gone to the home of thy rest--
  Then why should my soul be so sad?
  I know thou art gone where the weary are blest,
  And the mourner looks up, and is glad;
  I know thou hast drank of the Lethe that flows
  In a land where they do not forget,
  That sheds over memory only repose,
  And takes from it only regret.

• Wake, soldier wake, thy war-horse waits
  To bear thee to the battle back;--
  Thou slumberest at a foeman's gates,--
  Thy dog would break thy bivouac;
  Thy plume is trailing in the dust,
  And thy red falchion gathering rust.

  And listened to a lute,
  One summer's eve, when the breeze was gone,
  And the nightingale was mute.
