Subject: Rose Ayler by W D Landor (listen online mp3)

Walter Savage Landor (1775 - 1864) was a regular visitor to the south Wales coast, frequently staying in the Swansea area, particularly the fashionable resort town of Tenby. When he inherited the family property on the death of his father in 1805, he sold his land in Rugely in the English Midlands, to buy the estate of Llanthony in Wales. It was on earlier visits to Swansea that Landor had first met Rose Aylmer; a friend who inspired his admiration, Rose died tragically young from cholera. “Rose Aylmer”, first published in Simonidea, is still one of Landor’s best remembered and most anthologised lyric poems:

Rose Aylmer
AH, what avails the sceptred race!
Ah, what the form divine!
What every virtue, every grace!
Rose Aylmer, all were thine.
Rose Aylmer, whom these wakeful eyes
May weep, but never see,
A night of memories and sighs
I consecrate to thee.
