The Funeral, XXII

Listen in the reader

But, hark! the Bass’s chapel bell Again its mournful music plies, And Aldham’s chimes the breezes swell, And Tyningham as soft replies. While o’er the lake in dark parade The painted chiefs are seen to glide, From verdant Tyne’s green holly shade To dwarfish Peffers’ sandy side.
