Excerpt from The Village Churchyard: And Other Poems The Village Churchyard. Old, dim Churchyard! I greet thee, while I feel Thy sobering, saddening influence o'er me steal With half a painful, half a pleasing power, Ev'n in the lustrous glow of this glad hour. The morning's warm luxuriance of delight Meets here a solemn check, a dreamy blight, Ev'n from this haunted spot! Yet, while we own The pensive gloom around these precincts thrown, A gentle vein of calm and tender thought Is to the entranced mind serenely brought. - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
