BUGLE SONG
By Lord Tennyson
?THB BUGLE BONO" la universally considered on. of the finest. If
toot the very finest, of short English poems. In writing of Tennyson,
Dr. Henry Van Dyke, the American preacher-poet, says, He has the
power of expressing the vague, delicate, yet potent emotions, the
feelings that belong to the twilight of the heart, when the glow of
love and the shadow of regret are mingled, in melodies of words as
Simple and as magical as the chime of faroff bells or the echoes of a
bugle call dying among the hills."
