TO A FRIEND WITH SOME VERSES.
By
cliff and stream and mountain pass
Together we have wandered
And looked on Nature's beauteous face
And her high mysteries pondered;
And still some bud or leaf or spray
Or red wild-rose we'd gather
In memory of the charming scene,
Or day of lovely weather.
Together we have wandered
And looked on Nature's beauteous face
And her high mysteries pondered;
And still some bud or leaf or spray
Or red wild-rose we'd gather
In memory of the charming scene,
Or day of lovely weather.
So, on life's path from time to time
Some fair experience staying,
I 've thrown the feeling into rhyme
To keep it undecaying.
And now for you within these leaves
I these wild-roses pressing
Hope that some fragrance you may find,
Some sweet perennial blessing.
