• the busy crowd Will little heed thy simple tones; Them mightier minstrels harping loud Engross,--and thou and I must shroud Where dark oblivion 'thrones No hand, they diapason o'er Well skill'd I throw with sweep sublime; For me, no academic lore Has taught the solemn strain to pour Or build the polish'd rhyme Yet thou to sylvan themes canst soar Thou know'st to charm the woodland train; The rustic swains believe thy power Can hush the wild winds when they roar, And still the billowy main These honours, Lyre, we yet may keep I, still unknown, may live with thee, And gentle zephyr's wing will sweep Thy solemn string, where low I sleep Beneath the alder tree This little dirge will please me more Than the full requiem's swelling peal; I'd rather than that crowds should sigh For me, that from some kindred eye The trickling tear should steal Yet dear to me the wreath of bay Perhaps from me debarr'd; And dear to me the classic zone, Which, snatch'd from learning's labour'd throne Adorns the accepted bard And O! —  The Poetical Works of Henry Kirk White : With a Memoir by Sir Harris Nicolas
