Confirmed reading

“Keble's Christian Year. "Burial of the Dead." ... "Who says, the wan autumnal sun / Beams with too faint a smile / To light up nature's face again ..." ... Christian Year.”

Fuller, Margaret. "Poems, Others." Houghton Library, Harvard University; bMS Am 1086.

On page 27, she copies further lines from The Christian Year ('Then cheerly to your work again'), attributed simply 'Christian Year.' She follows the second Keble quotation with critical commentary ('The very faults of these two pieces have a charm... The secret this of Rest below') precedes the explicit Keble attribution; this may itself be from The Christian Year's 'Morning' section.
