(6) Dedication - To the bards of the day
TO THE BARDS OF THE DAY.
Summer has twice been visiting our earth,
Since first these rhymes sought rest on bookish leaves;—
The calmness growing youth with years receives
Murmurs t£at then I spoke in bitter mirth
Of brother rhymers showing bardic dearth
Of thought in verse ; for one, soul-touched, loud grieves
In words portentous; Christian kindness weaves
My feelings with regret for giving birth
To judgement keen on bulk of rhyme inane
Which was well-meaning and full harmless too :—
0 Christian brother! Christian bard review
Thy painful words, for I am penitent;—again
I utter penitence ;—again thine hand!
And let us laugh and walk in mirth the land!
