No change had occurred in the features
since DEATH and the poet locked as though
he was in restful sleep. Many of the lines
OF age had been erased by the hands OF
death, and calm and peaceful was the lace
upon which the mourners looked for the
last time. Lady TennySon was the last co
leave the room in which the coffined re-
mains or her husband were lying and alone
in the sacredne5S OF her sorrow she bade a
final adieu to him who was oil the world to
her. After Lady TennySon had finally with
drawn the laurel wreath that encircled tho
brow of the poet was removed, but u num-
Der OF its leaves were laid at the head ana
Ieet. The arms were then brought forward
ana the hands were crossed upon the chest.
