| Notes | TO THE VENERABLE BEDE 'Mid quiet vale or city lulled by night Well-pleased the wanderer, wakeful on his bed, Hears from far Alps, on fitful breeze the sound Of torrents, murmuring down their rocky glens, Strange voice from the distant regions, alien climes:- Should these far echoes from thy legend-roll Delight of loftier years, these echoes faint, Thus waken, thus make calm. one restless heart In our distempered day, to thee the praise, Voice of past times, O Venerable Bede!
