Arthur Quiller-Couch, comp. The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse. 1922. | | In the Valley of Cauteretz | By Alfred, Lord Tennyson (18091892) |
| ALL along the valley, stream that flashest white, | |
Deepening thy voice with the deepening of the night, | |
All along the valley, where thy waters flow, | |
I walkd with one I loved two and thirty years ago. | |
All along the valley while I walkd to-day, | 5 |
The two and thirty years were a mist that rolls away; | |
For all along the valley, down thy rocky bed | |
Thy living voice to me was as the voice of the dead, | |
And all along the valley, by rock and cave and tree, | |
The voice of the dead was a living voice to me. | 10 | | |
