UPC: 600313463716. 8.5" x 11" inches. English. Text: Alfred Lord Tennyson.

The Sentinel describes the watchman keeping guard over love. He "whispers to the world of space, in the deep night, that all is well." The poetry of Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) is characterized by dark, yet transcendent imagery -- the depths of the ocean, the triumph of the spirit. These poems seem well-suited to musical settings for Men's Chorus. The deep tones. The sonority of male voices (perhaps speaking for the poet) rising in song. Throughout the varied imagery of this poetry -- the depth of the sea, the dark of the night, the tumult of passion and the acceptance of death -- there speaks one, central message. "Love was my lord and king.".
