THOMAS DE CAMBERNON for Hastings' field Left Normandy; his tower saw him no more! And no crusader's war-horse plumed and steeled Paws the grass now at Modbury's blazoned door; No lettered marble nor ancestral shield, -- Where all the Atlantic shakes the lonesome shore, Lies ours forgotten; only cobble-stones To tell us where are Champernowne's poor bones. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SURVIVOR AMONG GRAVES by RANDALL JARRELL SUBJECTED EARTH by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE GRAVE OF MRS.
