    About this ebook

    Beauties of Tennyson is a collection of poems by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Tennyson was an English poet and Poet Laureate during the 19th century. Excerpt: "Flow down, cold rivulet, to the sea, Thy tribute wave deliver: No more by thee my steps shall be, For ever and for ever. Flow, softly flow, by lawn and lea, A rivulet then a river: Nowhere by thee my steps shall be, For ever and for ever."

      Driving south, I cross it—the intangible line beyond which bougainvillea grows, beyond which the land is flagrant. It’s not exact; there is no sign as with a border, so everybody knows. It doesn’t waft to me; it’s not even fragrant. When I see the bu

      And sparkle out among the fern,

      To bicker down a valley.

      By thirty hills I hurry down,

      Or slip between the ridges,

      By twenty thorps, a little town,

      And half a hundred bridges.
