About this title

Synopsis

DEDICATION
TO
MRS. LYNN LINTON
Daughter in spirit elect and consecrate
By love and reverence of the Olympian sire Whom I too loved and worshipped, seeing so great,
And found so gracious toward my long desire To bid that love in song before his gate
Sound, and my lute be loyal to his lyre, To none save one it now may dedicate Song's new burnt-offering on a century's pyre. And though the gift be light As ashes in men's sight, Left by the flame of no ethereal fire, Yet, for his worthier sake Than words are worthless, take This wreath of words ere yet their hour expire. So, haply, from some Iteaven above, He, seeing, may set next yours my sacrifice of love.
May 24, 1880.
