Matthew Arnold (1882-1888) composed Memorial Verses' in April 1850. In this poem he has paid tribute to – Goethe, Byron and Wordsworth. First stanza of this poem makes it clear–
Goethe in weimer sleeps, and Greece,
Long since, saw Byron's struggle cease,
But one such death remained to come;
The Last poetic voice is dumb
We stand today by Wordsworth's tomb.
