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.
And since, with those whom love sincere
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.
