DAVENPORT ADAMS WITH A NOTE ON SOME FOREIGN FORMS OF VERSE BY AUSTIN DOBSON London 1878 O thou most dear,-before thy feet These blossoms, latest from the tree Of Britain's gold-branch'd poesy, Now lie where all the virtues meet. Nor will they wither: neither heat O thou most dear. Nor will Time banish Love, or greet They bud and bloom, and still with me Their scent and loveliness will be ; Yes, Love will stay, though Time be fleet, O thou most dear. W. D. A. |
