On The Death Of A Noble Lady

Title:     On The Death Of A Noble Lady
Author: Henry Newbolt [More Titles by Newbolt]

Time, when thou shalt bring again
Pallas from the Trojan plain,
Portia from the Roman's hall,
Brynhild from the fiery wall,
Eleanor, whose fearless breath
Drew the venom'd fangs of Death,
And Philippa doubly brave
Or to conquer or to save--

When thou shalt on one bestow
All their grace and all their glow,
All their strength and all their state,
All their passion pure and great,
Some far age may honour then
Such another queen of men.

[The end]
Henry Newbolt's poem: On The Death Of A Noble Lady
