    “Thee for my recitative,
    Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day

    Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,”

    “‘O glorious Life, Who dwellest in earth and sun,
    I have lived, I praise and adore Thee.”

    Over the pass the voices one by one
    Faded, and the hill slept.”
    —Sir Henry Newbolt (1862–1938)

    “When my arms wrap you round I press
    My heart upon the loveliness
    That has long faded from the world....”
