SHE, TO HIM
ii
PERHAPS, long hence, when I have passed away,
Some other's feature, accent, thought like mine.
Will carry you back to what I used to say,
And bring some memory of your love's decline.
Then you may pause awhile and think, "Poor jade!"
And yield a sigh to me—as gift benign,
Not as the tittle of a debt unpaid
To one who could to you her all resign—
