LI. TO M--- M---.
OXFORD: DEC. 1851.
An English welcome to an English shore,
Such as we could, some four years since we gave thee:
Not knowing what the days reserved in store,
Or that our land among her sons would have thee.
But now thou art endenizen'd awhile
Almost we fear our greeting to renew,
Lest that we seem'd to promise should beguile
When all we are is open to thy view.
And yet if aught of what we fondly boast,
True-hearted warmth of friendship, frank and free,
Survive within this ocean-circled coast,
We need not fear again to welcome thee:—
—So may we, blessing thee, ourselves be blest,
And prove not all unworthy of our Guest.
