Excerpt from Algernon Charles Swinburne: Personal Recollections by His Cousin, Mrs. Disney Leith

A Year's Mind

April, that "made" and took him, comes once more
To that fair Undercliff he loved so well
And truly, cliff and crag and rock-strewn shore,
And to the garden-graves of one sweet dell
Where, deaf to love that clung and prayed and wept,
(While this fair world its Easter sabbath kept)
Twelve moons ago, he laid him down and slept.

Around in grassy nook and tangled brake
Primrose and violet begin to peer,
And celandine's wide star-bright eyes awake;
And all the woods are vocal - far and near
The air is filled with Life's reviving hum;
The time of many singing-birds is come;
Only our Singer's lips and lyre are dumb.

The fame he craved not, courted not, abides,
The songs he sang shall hardly pass away
While Culver's stark white steep withstands the tides,
Or little children in the Landslip play
As once he played there: eve and crystal dawn
Seem goodlier now on shore and sea and lawn
That hence such music and such might were drawn.

But fairer than the light on field and foam,
And brighter than his fame which fills the land,
His love of kindred and his love of home
And all things true and beautiful, shall stand
Immortal; and the mists of pain and gloom
Approach not, nor shall mar the fadeless bloom
Of Love that hallows and that guards his tomb.
