Title: William Francis Bartlett Author: John Greenleaf Whittier [More Titles by Whittier] Oh, well may Essex sit forlorn No lapse of years can render less A grief alike to wound and heal, Good men and true she has not lacked, As Galahad pure, as Merlin sage, A voice, the battle's trumpet-note, A soul of fire, a tender heart When Earth, as if on evil dreams, His fame who led the stormy van Mourn, Essex, on thy sea-blown shore Let age lament the youthful chief, 1878.
