Excerpt from PoemsDedication.A Hampshire village and a grave where sleepTwo Sisters and a Father - Mother dear, If I forgetting these have caused thee tear, Mother! by these forgive it. We did weepThy painful nightwatches when canker deepWasted our bright Georgina, and a blankLived in our love's soul when the churchyard dankReceived our pretty Julia, we did steepOur days in mourning for a fond heart lowWhen a dear Father joined them. This poor strainBy these is thine, which some may mock as vainBut none shall curse as harmful. I do knowI have thy love, but till thou there shalt beI shall not know how deep is mine for thee.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
