Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems
We would not rougher strains intrude Where soft sweet music fills the air; But oft there creeps within the breast A wish that when this life shall end, Among the few we love the best, The few who truly call us friend, To leave some simple work or word, Some token, trifling though it be, Not for its worth alone preferred, But tribute dear to memory.
