Lord Alfred Tennyson

In Memoriam CXXVI: Love is and was my Lord and King

In Memoriam A. H. H. OBIIT MDCCCXXXIII —CXXVI

 
Love is and was my Lord and King,
        And in his presence I attend
        To hear the tidings of my friend,
Which every hour his couriers bring.
 
Love is and was my King and Lord,
        And will be, tho’ as yet I keep
        Within his court on earth, and sleep
Encompass’d by his faithful guard,
 
And hear at times a sentinel
        Who moves about from place to place,
        And whispers to the worlds of space,
In the deep night, that all is well.
