Sweet and Low (poem)

"Sweet and Low" is a poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Written in 1849,[1] Tennyson sent two versions of the poem to Emily Sellwood in November,[2][3] asking her to select which one to include in the revised 1850 edition of The Princess,[4] where it intercalates canto II and III.[5]

Charles Kingsley in a review in Fraser's Magazine (September 1850) found the poem so exquisite that he quoted it in full,[6][7] and it became, as did the other five "songs" inserted in 1850 edition of The Princess, a poem widely translated in Europe.[8]
