Walter Savage Landor. 1775–1864558. Rose Aylmer
| AH, what avails the sceptred race! | |
| Ah, what the form divine! | |
| What every virtue, every grace! | |
| Rose Aylmer, all were thine. | |
| Rose Aylmer, whom these wakeful eyes | 5 |
| May weep, but never see, | |
| A night of memories and sighs | |
| I consecrate to thee. |
