Explore "A Farewell" by Alfred Tennyson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Flow down, cold rivulet, to the sea,
Thy tribute wave deliver:
No more by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.
Flow, softly flow, by lawn and lea,
A rivulet then a river:
Nowhere by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.
But here will sigh thine alder tree, / And here thine aspen shiver; / And here by thee will hum the bee, / For ever and for ever.
A thousand suns will stream on thee, / A thousand moons will quiver; / But not by thee my steps shall be, / For ever and for ever.
