In Memoriam A. H. H. 116 Poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson

It takes the warrior Ulysses the Roman name for Odysseus as its focus, and — using the then-new form of the dramatic monologue, which Tennyson helped to pioneer — reveals an ageing king who, having returned from the Trojan war, yearns to don his armour again and ride off in search of battle, glory, and adventure leaving his poor wife Penelope behind, we might add! It is, therefore, peculiarly characteristic of sincere Christians. But ill for him that wears a crown, And him, the lazar, in his rags : They tremble, the sustaining crags ; The spires of ice are toppled down, And molten up, and roar in flood ; The fortress crashes from on high, The brute earth lightens to the sky, And the great yon sinks in blood, And compass'd bj the fires of hell ; While thou, dear spirit, happy star, O'erlook'st the tumult from afar, And smilest, knowing all is well. No mixt with all this mystic frame, Her deep relations are the same, But with long use her tears are dry.

In Memoriam A. H. H.: Preface Poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson
How often shall her old fireside Be cheer'd with tidings of the bride, How often she herself return, And tell them all they would have told, And bring her babe, and make her boast, Till even those that miss'd her most Shall count new things as dear as old: But thou and I have shaken hands, Till growing winters lay me low; My paths are in the fields I know. Forgive these wild and wandering cries, Confusions of a wasted youth; Forgive them where they fail in truth, And in thy wisdom make me wise. Who show'd a token of distress?

Love is and was my King and Lord, And will be, tho' as yet I keep Within his court on earth, and sleep Encompass'd by his faithful guard, And hear at times a sentinel Who moves about from place to place, And whispers to the worlds of space, In the deep night, that all is well. I understand this was written over 17 years but it feels like there was a significant gap before the final 5th, as suddenly it becomes more philosophical and the grief seems severely reduced from the A very long poem lamenting the loss of a friend and brother-in-law. He used a wide range of subject matter ranging from medieval legends to classical myths and from domestic situations to observations of nature. But this it was that made me move As light as carrier-birds in air; I loved the weight I had to bear, Because it needed help of Love: Nor could I weary, heart or limb, When mighty Love would cleave in twain The lading of a single pain, And part it, giving half to him. His own image is shadowed on the very heights of heaven to which he yearns, and, pondering on the grave, he does but read his own thoughts into the mysteries of death.

They say, The solid earth whereon we tread In tracts of fluent heat began, And grew to seeming-random forms, The seeming prey of cyclic storms, Till at the last arose the man; Who throve and branch'd from clime to clime, The herald of a higher race, And of himself in higher place, If so he type this work of time Within himself, from more to more; Or, crown'd with attributes of woe Like glories, move his course, and show That 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.
