Charles Dickens, author of Oliver Twist, a book I cherished reading while growing up. He is a legend and a gift to mankind. Lovely poem

I like in this how Dickens shifts from the eight-syllable rhyming pattern in the first two stanzas to the mostly-five syllable pattern in the third and last stanza—it shows flexibility and suits his purpose. As to the shadows he mentions and the peace he can’t regain, he tantalizes us and leaves it for us to guess. -GK

'In my breast alone Dark shadows remain; The peace it has known It can never regain.' - How deep is the sorrow, oh God! Bless him!

How soft is Nature's calm repose When ev'ning skies their cool dews weep: The gentlest wind more gently blows, As if to soothe her in her sleep! Beautiful nature, calm, gentle and soothing. Lovely poem.
