that high realm where all our darkness dies.
He moves, with honour, in those loftier regions,
Above this "world of passion and of lies":

For so he called it, keeping his own pure passion
A silent flame before the true and good;
Not fawning on the throng in this world's fashion
To come and see what all might see who would.

Soldier of England, brave and gentle knight,
The soul of Sidney welcomes you tonight.
