LONDON LYRICS BY FREDERICK LOCKER A NEW EDITION, ENLARGED AND FINALLY REVISED. BODI HLOV HENRY S. KING & Co. LONDON j. 495. 280. j. (C. C. L.) I PAUSE upon the threshold-dear, most dear To write thy name; so may my book acquire One golden leaf. For Some yet sojourn here Who come and go in saintliest attire, Not known, or only by the few who see The cross they bear, the good that they have wrought : Of such art thou, and I have found in thee Truth and the love that HE, the MASTER, taught. Thou lovest thy humble poet: canst thou say With truth, my dearest, "And I like his lay"? ROME, May, 1862. |
