Alfred Browning Stanley Tennyson

In the days of grace, in the good days gone, She had set him up on a golden throne, The face of a god and a heart of stone, But now she must live alone,

Alone, alone, alone In a little grey house of stone Which stares o'er the marshes towards the sea Where the great grey waves roll sullenly

Night and day for ever and aye With mournful voices which seem to say “Alone, alone, alone.”
