" Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower,   We will grieve not, rather find   Strength in what remains behind;   In the primal sympathy   Which having been must ever be;   In the soothing thoughts that spring   Out of human suffering;   In the faith that looks through death; In years that bring the philosophic mind. "
