On Southey's Birthday, Nov. 4
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)

No Angel borne on whiter wing
Hath visited the sons of men,
Teaching the song they ought to sing
And guiding right the unsteady pen.
Recorded not on earth alone,
O Southey! is thy natal day,
But there where stands the choral throne
Show us thy light and point the way.
