Tennyson, Alfred Lord's bio information
Sunday, August 6, 1809 - Thursday, October 6, 1892
Born: August 6, 1809, Somersby, Lincolnshire, England.
Died: October 6, 1892, Aldworth House, near Haslemere, Surrey, England.
Buried: Poets’ Corner, Westminster Abbey, London, England.
Tennyson was one of the best known English poets of the 19th Century. Here’s one of his poems we particularly like:
More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and day.
For what are men better than sheep or goats
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer
Both for themselves and those who call them friend?
For so the whole round earth is every way
Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.
Hymns
Crossing the Bar
Ring Out the Old, Ring in the New
Strong Son of God, Immortal Love
