Alfred Tennyson,
My Life is Full of Weary Days
(1833)
“ And when the sappy field and wood Grow green beneath the showery gray, And rugged barks begin to bud, And thro’ damp holts new-flush’d with may, Ring sudden scritches of the jay, Then let wise Nature work her will, And on my clay her darnel grow; Come only, when the days are still, And at my headstone whisper low, And tell me if the woodbines blow. This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
