Doyen of English Poets, past master of prosody,
Who understood the meaning of soul in sense and sense in soul,
Whose magnificent oeuvre of drama, prose and poesy,
Knew every aspect of passionate life as a whole.
Modern poetry should have followed his fineness of line,
Instead 'twas waylaid by facile free verse that often strayed,
But once again he shall regain immortal fame in time,
Musical Swinburne, poet of fair meter and of rhyme.
