Charles Lamb - Lines Suggested By A Sight Of Waltham Cross

Charles Lamb - Lines Suggested By A Sight Of Waltham Cross

Time-mouldering crosses, gemmed with imagery br Of costliest work and Gothic tracery, br Point still the spot, to hallowed Wedlock dear, br Where rested on its solemn way the bier br That bore the bones of Edward's Elinor br To mix with Royal dust at Westminster. br Far different rites did thee to dust consign, br Duke Brunswick's daughter, princely Caroline: br A hurrying funeral, and a banished grave, br High-minded Wife, were all that thou couldst have.
