Trinity College

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Up that long walk of limes I past
To see the rooms in which he dwelt
I lingered: all within was noise
Of songs, and clapping hands, and boys
That crashed the glass and beat the floor;
Where once we held debate, a band
Of youthful friends, on mind and art,
Of labour and the changing mart,
And all the framework of the land.

From In Memorian A.H.H.

The set of rooms at G3, New Court in Trinity College, was where Tennyson's great friend, Arthur Hallam, lived.
