Tennyson wrote tears, idle tears after visiting tintern abbey, the church where he was recently married

I’m sorry, but there seems to be some confusion in your statement. "Tears, Idle Tears" is actually a poem written by Alfred Lord Tennyson and has no direct connection to Tintern Abbey. Tennyson wrote this poem in reference to the fleeting nature of emotions and memories. It explores the theme of nostalgia and longing for the past.

On the other hand, Tintern Abbey is a famous poem written by William Wordsworth in 1798. It describes his visit to the ruined Tintern Abbey and reflects on the power of nature and the impact it has on the human mind and soul.

As for Tennyson's connection to Tintern Abbey, there is none to my knowledge. Tennyson was married to Emily Sellwood in 1850 at Shiplake Church in Oxfordshire, not at Tintern Abbey.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or if there is any additional clarification I can provide.
