Analysis of For an Epitaph at Fiesole
Walter Savage Landor 1775 (Warwick) – 1864
LO! where the four mimosas blend their shade
In calm repose at last is Landor laid;
For ere he slept he saw them planted here
By her his soul had ever held most dear,
And he had liv’d enough when he had dried her tear.
