TO E. AND L. A. WITH A PEAR
The Prophet for his thirsting flock
Bade streams of water flow;
The new enchanter smites the rock
And fruits of Eden glow.
Bade streams of water flow;
The new enchanter smites the rock
And fruits of Eden glow.
Like goes to like; this beauty seeks
The great and good and fair,
And finds at length, with blushing cheeks,
A second matchless pair.
