TO HENRY AND LAURA JULIA HOWGRAVE GRAHAM
Were the grapes ripe whereof this wine was brewed?
I know not, brother, sister; but I know
More sunshine came upon them where you stood;
More genial dews and showers refreshed them so.
This much I set in rime; and for the rest
The golden silence is indeed the best.
I know not, brother, sister; but I know
More sunshine came upon them where you stood;
More genial dews and showers refreshed them so.
This much I set in rime; and for the rest
The golden silence is indeed the best.
March 1891.
