that strain flows round the untimely tomb where riddell lies.
yes, pour, ye warblers! pour the notes of woe,
and soothe the virtues weeping o'er his bier:
the man of worth—and hath not left his peer!
is in his “narrow house,” for ever darkly low.
thee, spring! again with joy shall others greet;
me, memory of my loss will only meet.
