A Dedication

Thomas Bailey Aldrich 1836 (Portsmouth) – 1907 (Boston)



Take these rhymes into thy grace,
Since they are of thy begetting,
Lady, that dost make each place
Where thou art a jewel's setting.

Some such glamour lend this Book;
Let it be thy poet's wages
That henceforth thy gracious look
Lies reflected on its pages.
