TO THE INFANT SON OF MY DEAR FRIENDS

MR. AND MRS. GRAHAME

[_]

(Written in 1831)

Sweet bud of life! thy future doom
Is present to my eyes,
And joyously I see thee bloom
In fortune's fairest skies.

288

One day thy breast, scarce conscious now,
Shall burn with patriot flame;
And, fraught with love, that little brow
Shall wear the wreath of fame.

When I am dead, dear boy, thou'lt take
These lines to thy regard;—
Imprint them on thy heart, and make
A prophet of the bard.
