The Life of Sir Richard Burton Part 42

As trees that stand in the storm-wind fast She stands, unsmitten of death's keen blast, With strong remembrance of sunbright spring Alive at heart to the lifeless last.

Night, she knows, may in no wise cling To a soul that sinks not and droops not wing, A sun that sets not in death's false night Whose kingdom finds him not thrall but king.

Souls there are that for soul's affright Bow down and cower in the sun's glad sight, Clothed round with faith that is one with fear, And dark with doubt of the live world's light.

But him we hailed from afar or near As boldest born of his kinsfolk here And loved as brightest of souls that eyed Life, time, and death with unchangeful cheer,

A wider soul than the world was wide, Whose praise made love of him one with pride What part has death or has time in him, Who rode life's list as a G.o.d might ride?

While England sees not her old praise dim, While still her stars through the world's night swim A fame outs.h.i.+ning her Raleigh's fame, A light that lightens her loud sea's rim,

Shall s.h.i.+ne and sound as her sons proclaim The pride that kindles at Burton's name. And joy shall exalt their pride to be The same in birth if in soul the same.

But we that yearn for a friend's face,--we Who lack the light that on earth was he,-- Mourn, though the light be a quenchless flame That s.h.i.+nes as dawn on a tideless sea.
