Poems and Ballads (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Poems and Ballads Take these poor songs of mine, Maiden, To thee, and none else, they belong; For thou wert their birth in their weakness, Maiden, Thou only may lift them up strong. Some faltering melodies, Maiden, Charm with echoes, sweet music long dead; I am paid having caught but the cadence From the songs that the master hearts fed.
