AND ANGLING SONGS. 403 



III. 



Sorrow at the poor man's hearth ! 



Sorrow in the hall of pride ! 

 Honour waits at the grave of worth, 



And high and low stand side by side. 

 Brother angler ! slumber on, 



Haply thou shalt wave the wand, 

 When the tide of Time is gone, 



In some far and happier land.
