  Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet 't is early morn:  
  
  
  Leave me here, and when you want me, sound upon the bugle-horn.  
    
  
  
  'T is the place, and all around it, as of old, the curlews call,  
  
  
  Dreary gleams about the moorland flying over Locksley Hall;  
    
  
  
  Locksley Hall, that in the distance overlooks the sandy tracts,  
  
  
  And the hollow ocean-ridges roaring into cataracts.  
    
  
  
  Many a night from yonder ivied casement, ere I went to rest,  
  
  
  Did I look on great Orion sloping slowly to the West.  
    
  
  
  Many a night I saw the Pleiads, rising thro' the mellow shade,  
  
  
  Glitter like a swarm of fire-flies tangled in a silver braid.  
    
  
  
  Here about the beach I wander'd, nourishing a youth sublime
