by William Collins, Ode on the Death of Thomson
“ Thy life, shall mourn thy early doom; Their hinds and shepherd-girls shall dress, With simple hands, thy rural tomb. Long, long thy stone and pointed clay Shall melt the musing Briton's eyes; O! vales and wild woods, shall he say In yonder grave your Druid lies! This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
