      "IT seems I have no tears left. They should have fallen--",
      "Their ghosts, if tears have ghosts, did fall--that day",
      "When twenty hounds streamed by me, not yet combed",
      "   out",
      "But still all equals in their rage of gladness",
      "Upon the scent, made one, like a great dragon",
      "In Blooming Meadow that bends towards the sun",
      "And once bore hops: and on that other day",
      "When I stepped out from the double-shadowed Tower",
      "Into an April morning, stirring and sweet",
      "And warm. Strange solitude was there and silence.",
      "A mightier charm than any in the Tower",
      "Possessed the courtyard. They were changing guard",
      "Soldiers in line, young English countrymen,",
      "Fair-haired and ruddy, in white tunics. Drums",
      "And fifes were playing \"The British Grenadiers\".",
      "The men, the music piercing that solitude",
      "And silence, told me truths I had not dreamed",
      "And have forgotten since their beauty passed."
