LINES
WRITTEN AFTER HEARING THE CHORAL MUSIC AND
CORONATION ANTHEM IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY,
JUNE 24, 1834.

It is full fifty years since I heard last,
Handel, thy solemn and divinest strain
Roll through thy long nave of this pillar'd fane,
Now seeming as if scarce a year had pass'd ;
And there He sat, who then wore England's Crown,
The pious Father—for the soul of Prynne.s
Had not reviv'd, to judge these scenes a sin—
He who was long to silent dust gone down,
A man of sorrows, tho' a King.
And there,
In graceful youth, stood the same Kingdom's Heir,
He also to.the dust gone down—and now
The Diadem shines on his living brow,
Who then was part of that fair progeny,
On which a mother gaz'd, and with a sigh,
Bless'd as she gaz'd, and some sad melody
Stole to her heart, and fill'd her eyes with tears.
When I look back on the departed years,
And many silent summers pass'd away,
Since youth, beneath the jocund morning sun,
Panted, with ardent hope, his race to run ;
Ah ! not unmindful that I now am grey,
And my race almost run=in this same fane,
I hear those Hallelujahs peal again,
Peal and expire, and while upon my ear,
The mighty voice swells, jubilant and clear,
I muse amid the holy harmony,
On thoughts of other worlds, and songs-which never die.
W. L. BOWLES.

Prynne, the Puritan, who wrote folios against profane
anthems and Cathedral music.
