TO CONSTANCE

Sweet Chatterbox, ’t is thou that hast beguiled

My fancy, as it drew the little child

Who in these pages lives; her gentle ways

Are but the reflex of thy round of days.

The trip of syllable I held so dear,

And all thy small remarks, are treasured here—

Charmed by the alchemy of love to stay

The while thy blissful childhood slips away.

Kind little heart, that knows no selfish thought,

Read here the tale that thou, thyself, hast wrought!
