Biographical details

Gilbert Arthur À Beckett,  Once a Week (1862)

“ If one who could have cheer’d for ever sleeps—
⁠Lean on the love of a forgotten day!
V.
May be, rank grass will choke a rotting grave,
⁠Where cruel rains beat down, where winds moan past—
Yet feel that love,—that life you scorn’d to save
⁠Was true to death,—was faithful to the last!
”
