TO MISS P. ON HER REMOVAL FROM HAMPSTEAD.
Take, gentle friend, on this plain card,
In plain simplicity,
A tribute of my true regard,
Nay love—for thine and thee.
In plain simplicity,
A tribute of my true regard,
Nay love—for thine and thee.
And since, with those whom love sincere
Links in a Christian cord,
There's nothing that can bind so near
As their beloved Lord;
Links in a Christian cord,
There's nothing that can bind so near
As their beloved Lord;
May the good Shepherd us incline
On faith and hope to hold,
Till all his sever'd flock shall join
An undivided fold.
On faith and hope to hold,
Till all his sever'd flock shall join
An undivided fold.
