English Poetry III: From Tennyson to Whitman.
The Harvard Classics. 1909–14. | | | | 632. In the Valley of Cauteretz | | | | Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892) | | | | | | 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 walked with one I loved two and thirty years ago. | | | All along the valley while I walked 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 | | | |
