" My task is done, my song hath ceased, my theme Hath died into an echo; it is fit The spell should break of this protracted dream. The torch shall be extinguished which hath lit My midnight lamp, and what is writ is writ ; Would it were worthier! but I am not now That which I have been, and my visions flit Less palpably before me, and the glow Which in my spirit dwelt is fluttering faint and low.
" Farewell ! a word that must be and hath been, A sound which makes us linger ; yet, farewell! Ye! who have traced the pilgrim to the scene Which is his last, if in your memories dwell A thought which once was his, if on ye swell A single recollection, not in vain He wore his sandal-shoon and scallop-shell ; Farewell! with him alone may rest the pain, If such there were, with you the moral of his strain!" -Byron.
