'The tender Grace of a day that is past 'A
-
The dew is on the rosesB
The owl hath spread her wingC
And vocal are the nosesB
Of peasant and of kingC
'Nature' in short 'reposes '-
But I do no such thingC
-
Pent in my lonesome studyD
Here I must sit and museE
Sit till the morn grows ruddyD
Till rising with the dewsE
'Jeameses' remove the muddyD
Spots from their masters' shoesE
-
Yet are sweet faces flingingC
Their witchery o'er me hereF
I hear sweet voices singingC
A song as soft as clearG
As previously to stingingC
A gnat sings round one's earF
-
Does Grace draw young ApollosE
In blue mustachios stillH
Does Emma tell the swallowsE
How she will pipe and trillH
When some fine day she followsE
Those birds to the window sillH
-
And oh has Albert fadedI
From Grace's memory yetJ
Albert whose 'brow was shadedK
By locks of glossiest jet '-
Whom almost any lady'dK
Have given her eyes to getK
-
Does not her conscience smite herL
For one who hourly pinesE
Thinking her bright eyes brighterL
Than any star that shinesE
I mean of course the writerL
Of these pathetic linesE
-
Who knows As quoth Sir WalterL
'Time rolls his ceaseless courseE
'The Grace of yore' may alterL
And then I've one resourceE
I'll invest in a bran new halterL
And I'll perish without remorseE
