Requiescat
Alfred Lord Tennyson
1809 to 1892
Fair is her cottage in its place,
Where yon broad water sweetly slowly glides.
It sees itself from thatch to base
Dream in the sliding tides.
And fairer she, but ah how soon to die!
Her quiet dream of life this hour may cease.
Her peaceful being slowly passes by
To some more perfect peace.
Alfred Lord Tennyson's Requiescat
I am busy working to bring Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Requiescat" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Alfred Lord Tennyson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Requiescat" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
