    There has fallen a splendid tearFrom the passion-flower at the gate.She is coming, my dove, my dear; She is coming, my life, my fate;The red rose cries, 'She is near, she is near;'And the white rose weeps, 'She is late;'The larkspur listens, 'I hear, I hear;'And the lily whispers, 'I wait.'Alfred, Lord Tennyson

O happy Grendel! Fifteen glorious heroes, proud in their battle dress, fat as cows!
