Ill made knight

Ill made knight

"Break, Break, Break"
Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
O well for the fisherman's boy,
That he shouts with his sister at play!
O well for the sailor lad,
That he sings in his boat on the bay!
And the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill:
But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!
Break, break, break,
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me.
By ALfred Lord Tennyson

I've noticed you've posted on my blog "Speaking With The Elders" once before and I just wanted to let you know that I've posted something that I feel weighs heavy on me. I would value your input.
