oise travelled steadily,
Sans band, sans bell.

Born when the star of Spring arose,
Haply my auspices were cast for calm
Of wood and dell.

Form I admired and sounds and scents;
Motion of waters, silences of stars--
Mighty their spell!

No senate called me from the plow;
No hundred thousand readers read my books--
They did not sell.

Many the friends when life was new
Heaven sent to me, but now, alas, reclaimed;
Sound, Muse, their knell.

You, who hereafter pass this way,
Remember him who made this simple book
And say farewell.
