A youth was I An elder friend with me	A
'Twas in September o'er the autumnal sea	A
We went the wide Atlantic ocean o'er	B
Two amongst many the strong steamer bore	C
Delight it was to feel that wondrous force	D
That held us steady to our purposed course	D
The burning resolute victorious will	E
'Gainst winds and waves that strive unwavering still	E
Delight it was with each returning day	F
To learn the ship had won upon her way	F
Her sum of miles delight were mornings grey	F
And gorgeous eves nor was it less delight	G
On each more temperate and favouring night	G
Friend with familiar or with new found friend	H
To pace the deck and o'er the bulwarks bend	H
And the night watches in long converse spend	H
While still new subjects and new thoughts arise	I
Amidst the silence of the seas and skies	I
Amongst the mingled multitude a few	J
Some three or four towards us early drew	J
We proved each other with a day or two	J
Night after night some three or four we walked	K
And talked and talked and infinitely talked	K
Of the New England ancient blood was one	L
His youthful spurs in letters he had won	L
Unspoilt by that to Europe late had come	M
Hope long deferred and went unspoilt by Europe home	N
What racy tales of Yankeeland he had	O
Up country girl up country farmer lad	O
The regnant clergy of the time of old	P
In wig and gown tales not to be retold	P
By me I could but spoil were I to tell	Q
Himself must do it who can do it well	Q
An English clergyman came spick and span	R
In black and white a large well favoured man	R
Fifty years old as near as one could guess	S
He looked the dignitary more or less	S
A rural dean I said he was at least	P
Canon perhaps at many a good man's feast	P
A guest had been amongst the choicest there	T
Manly his voice and manly was his air	T
At the first sight you felt he had not known	U
The things pertaining to his cloth alone	U
Chairman of Quarter Sessions had he been	V
Serious and calm 'twas plain he much had seen	W
Had miscellaneous large experience had	P
Of human acts good half and half and bad	P
Serious and calm yet lurked I know not why	X
At times a softness in his voice and eye	X
Some shade of ill a prosperous life had crossed	P
Married no doubt a wife or child had lost	P
He never told us why he passed the sea	A
My guardian friend was now at thirty three	A
A rising lawyer ever at the best	P
Slow rises worth in lawyer's gown compressed	P
Succeeding now yet just and only just	P
His new success he never seemed to trust	P
By nature he to gentlest thoughts inclined	P
To most severe had disciplined his mind	P
He held it duty to be half unkind	P
Bitter they said who but the exterior knew	J
In friendship never was a friend so true	J
The unwelcome fact he did not shrink to tell	Q
The good if fact he recognised as well	Q
Stout to maintain if not the first to see	A
In conversation who so great as he	A
Leading but seldom always sure to guide	P
To false or silly if 'twas borne aside	P
His quick correction silent he expressed	P
And stopped you short and forced you to your best	P
Often I think he suffered from some pain	Y
Of mind that on the body worked again	Z
One felt it in his sort of half disdain	Y
Impatient not but acrid in his speech	A2
The world with him her lesson failed to teach	A2
To take things easily and let them go	B2
He for what special fitness I scarce know	B2
For which good quality or if for all	C2
With less of reservation and recall	C2
And speedier favour than I e'er had seen	W
Took as we called him to the rural dean	W
As grew the gourd as grew the stalk of bean	W
So swift it seemed betwixt these differing two	J
A stately trunk of confidence up grew	J
Of marriage long one night they held discourse	D
Regarding it in different ways of course	D
Marriage is discipline the wise had said	P
A needful human discipline to wed	P
Novels of course depict it final bliss	D2
Say had it ever really once been this	D2
Our Yankee friend whom ere the night was done	L
We called New England or the Pilgrim Son	L
A little tired made bold to interfere	E2
'Appeal ' he said 'to me my sentence hear	F2
You'll reason on till night and reason fail	G2
My judgment is you each shall tell a tale	G2
And as on marriage you can not agree	A
Of love and marriage let the stories be '	H2
Sentence delivered as the younger man	R
My lawyer friend was called on and began	R
'Infandum jubes 'tis of long ago	B2
If tell I must I tell the tale I know	B2
Yet the first person using for the freak	I2
Don't rashly judge that of myself I speak '	H2
So to his tale if of himself or not	P
I never learnt we thought so on the spot	P
Lightly he told it as a thing of old	P
And lightly I repeat it as he told	P
