80 J. H. MAIDEN, 
I climb the hill: from end to end 
Of all the landscape underneath, 
[ find no place that does not breathe 
Some gracious memory of my friend; 
Nor runlet trickling from the rock; 
Nor pastoral rivulet that swerves 
To left and right thro’ meadowy curves, 
That feed the mothers of the flock ; 
But each has pleased a kindred eye, 
And each reflects a kindlier day ; 
And, leaving these, to pass away, 
I think once more he seems to die.’’
