      And, thy dark freight, a vanish'd life.
      - Lord Alfred Tennyson, In Memoriam (pt. X)

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.
      - Lord Alfred Tennyson, In Memoriam
         (pt. XCV)

Go, little letter, apace, apace,
  Fly;
    Fly to the light in the valley below--
      Tell my wish to her dewy blue eye.
      - Lord Alfred Tennyson, The Letter (st. 2)
