Dear Land of Flowers forgive me I that I took These snatches from thy glittering wealth of song And twisted to the uses of a book Strains that to alien harps canner belong. Thy gems shine purer in their native bed Concealed., beyond the pry of vulgar eyes ;A nd there., through labyrinths of language led., The patient student grasps the glowing prize. Yet many., in their race toward other goals., May joy to feel., albeit at second-hand., Some far faint heart-throb of poetic souls Whose breath makes incense in the Flowery Land. H. A. G. Cambridge: October t SgS.
