On Granting 'Leave Of Absence' To My Muse [Stanzas]
1
1
Months, years are gone away,
Since I my court did pay to thee;
Since never I have passed a day,
Beloved Muse! But 't was with thee;
2
But now go to "Cape of Good Hope"
Or "Singapore" or where you will.
For thou art Lady! quite worn out
And let me for a While be still!
3
Needst thou a testimonial
Of my affection Love! for thee?
This single fact ma' am! will suffice
That all I sacrifice for thee!
4
Farewell! But oh! remember me,
Return before our 'Monthlies all.
The Gleaner--Blossom--'Commet' tempt
Me to scribble for them all.
