Sestet

Sent to a Friend With a Volume of Tennyson

Wouldst know the clash of knightly steel on steel?
  Or list the throstle singing loud and clear?
  Or walk at twilight by some haunted mere
  In Surrey; or in throbbing London feel
  Life’s pulse at highest—hark, the minster’s peal!...
  Turn but the page, that various world is here!
