| Do you recall I know you do | B |
| A little gift once made to you | B |

| One was a snowy myrtle bud | D |
| Another blushed as if with blood | D |
| A third was pink of softest tinge | E |

| And nursed them for a little while | F |
| And once or twice perhaps you thought | G |
| Of the fond messages they brought | G |

| The promise in that gift of mine | H |
| In those bright blooms and odors sweet | I |
| I laid this volume at your feet | I |

| At yours my child who scarcely know | J |
| How much to your dear self I owe | J |
| Too young and innocent as yet | K |

| Therefore to you henceforth belong | L |
| These Southern asphodels of song | L |
| Less MY creations than your own | M |
| What praise they win are yours alone | M |

| For here no fancy finds a place | N |
| But is an affluence of your grace | N |
| And when my songs are sweetest then | O |
| A Dream like you hath touched my pen | O |
