Suppressed Poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson — Mablethorpe

[Published in _Manchester Athænaum Album_, 1850. Written, 1837. Republished, altered, in _Life_, vol. I, p. 161. ] How often, when a child I lay reclined, I took delight in this locality!

Here stood the infant Ilion of the mind, And here the Grecian ships did seem to be.

And here again I come and only find The drain-cut levels of the marshy lea,-- Gray sand banks and pale sunsets--dreary wind, Dim shores, dense rains, and heavy clouded sea.
