CVI) [Bells] 'Tis held that sorrow makes us wise. - In Memoriam (pt. CVIII) [Wisdom] Where God and Nature met in light. - In Memoriam (pt. CXI, st. 5) [Light] Now rings the woodland loud and long, The distance takes a lovelier hue, And drowned in yonder living blue The lark becomes a sightless song. - In Memoriam (pt. CXV) [Trees] Life is not as idle ore, But iron dug from central gloom, And heated hot with burning fears, And dipt in baths of hissing tears, And batter'd with the shocks of doom, To shape and use. - In Memoriam (pt. CXVIII, st. 5) [Life] And every dew-drop paints a bow. - In Memoriam (pt.

LXV) [Love] When in the down I sink my head, Sleep, Death's twin-brother, times my breath. - In Memoriam (pt. LXVIII) [Sleep] But over all things brooding slept The quiet sense of something lost. - In Memoriam (pt. LXXVIII, st. 2) [Loss] Thou bringest the sailor to his wife, And travell'd men from foreign lands, And letters unto trembling hands; And, thy dark freight, a vanish'd life. - In Memoriam (pt. X) [Navigation : Post] When rosy plumelets tuft the larch, And rarely pipes the mounted thrush. - In Memoriam (pt. XCI) [Thrushes] I read Of that glad year that once had bee, In those fall'n leaves which kept their green, The noble letters of the dead: And strangely on the silence broke The silent-speaking words. - In Memoriam (pt. XCV) [Post] There lives more faith in honest doubt, Believe me, than in half the creeds. - In Memoriam (pt. XCV, st. 3) [Doubt] Come, Time, and teach me many years, I do not suffer in dream; For now so strange do these things seem, Mine eyes have leisure for their tears. - In Memoriam (pt.
