Excerpt from Poems To My Wife. To God, the World, and thee, my chaste-souled Wife, And dear life-angel, who hast made me strong, I consecrate these lowly lilts of song, The fingerings of a nobler spirit-life. 'Tis scant, this harvest of my furrowed brain, But not all desertness. Thought budded free Out of my heart, as leaves out of a tree. Within these pages breathes no word to stain The bloom of silver-leafed purity: Each line was writ as if an angel's eye Looked o'er my shoulder. I girded me to cope With armed Error and beleaguerhig Wrong, To snatch from Doubt the flower and crown of Hope, And God's orbed image. Immortality.
