TO A YOUNG GIRL.
85
Yet will I leave thee some token, that there,
Just where the path looks most rugged and dim,
It haply may cheer thee in meeting with Care,
To know that thy friend walked before thee with Him!
Just where the path looks most rugged and dim,
It haply may cheer thee in meeting with Care,
To know that thy friend walked before thee with Him!
So for thy loving and trusting and truth,
Gentle acquittance in part it may be;
Thou who hast shrined me an image of Youth,
Brighter than ever my youth was to me!
Gentle acquittance in part it may be;
Thou who hast shrined me an image of Youth,
Brighter than ever my youth was to me!
February 13th.
