And these will strike for England, And man and maid be free To foil and spoil the tyrant Beneath the greenwood tree. - Foresters--Song [England] Darker than darkest pansies. - Gardener's Daughter [Pansies] The garden lies, A league of grass, wash'd by a slow broad stream. - Gardener's Daughter (l. 40) [Gardens] And there they placed a peacock in his pride, Before the damsel. - Gareth and Lynette [Peacocks] Then she rode forth, clothed on with chastity: The deep air listen'd round her as she rode, And all the low wind hardly breathed for fear. - Godiva (l. 53) [Chastity] Shall eagles not be eagles? wrens be wrens?

May Freedom's oak forever live With stronger life from day to day; That man's the true Conservative Who lops the moulder'd branch away. Hands all round! God the tyrant's hope confound! To this great cause of Freedom drink, my friends, And the great name of England round and round. - Hands all Round (vol. I, p. 345), in "Memoirs of Tennyson" by his son [England] Speak to Him, thou, for He hears, and Spirit with Spirit can meet; Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet. - Higher Pantheism [Gods : Prayer] In that fierce light which beats upon a throne. - Idylls of the King--Dedication (l. 26) [Royalty] Red ruin and the breaking-up of all. - Idylls of the King--Guinevere [Ruin] Late, late, so late! but we can enter still.
