Lady a Pen perhaps with thy regard	A
Among the Favoured favoured not the least	B
Left 'mid the Records of this Book inscribed	C
Deliberate traces registers of thought	D
And feeling suited to the place and time	E
That gave them birth months passed and still this hand	F
That had not been too timid to imprint	G
Words which the virtues of thy Lord inspired	H
Was yet not bold enough to write of Thee	I
And why that scrupulous reserve In sooth	I
The blameless cause lay in the Theme itself	J
Flowers are there many that delight to strive	K
With the sharp wind and seem to court the shower	L
Yet are by nature careless of the sun	M
Whether he shine on them or not and some	N
Where'er he moves along the unclouded sky	O
Turn a broad front full on his flattering beams	P
Others do rather from their notice shrink	Q
Loving the dewy shade a humble band	F
Modest and sweet a progeny of earth	I
Congenial with thy mind and character	L
High born Augusta	R
	-
Witness Towers and Groves	S
And Thou wild Stream that giv'st the honoured name	T
Of Lowther to this ancient Line bear witness	U
From thy most secret haunts and ye Parterres	U
Which She is pleased and proud to call her own	V
Witness how oft upon my noble Friend	W
'Mute' offerings tribute from an inward sense	U
Of admiration and respectful love	X
Have waited till the affections could no more	Y
Endure that silence and broke out in song	Z
Snatches of music taken up and dropt	W
Like those self solacing those under notes	U
Trilled by the redbreast when autumnal leaves	U
Are thin upon the bough Mine only mine	A2
The pleasure was and no one heard the praise	U
Checked in the moment of its issue checked	W
And reprehended by a fancied blush	B2
From the pure qualities that called it forth	I
	-
Thus Virtue lives debarred from Virtue's meed	W
Thus Lady is retiredness a veil	C2
That while it only spreads a softening charm	D2
O'er features looked at by discerning eyes	U
Hides half their beauty from the common gaze	U
And thus even on the exposed and breezy hill	E2
Of lofty station female goodness walks	U
When side by side with lunar gentleness	U
As in a cloister Yet the grateful Poor	F2
Such the immunities of low estate	W
Plain Nature's enviable privilege	G2
Her sacred recompense for many wants	U
Open their hearts before Thee pouring out	W
All that they think and feel with tears of joy	H2
And benedictions not unheard in heaven	M
And friend in the ear of friend where speech is free	I
To follow truth is eloquent as they	I
	-
Then let the Book receive in these prompt lines	U
A just memorial and thine eyes consent	W
To read that they who mark thy course behold	W
A life declining with the golden light	W
Of summer in the season of sere leaves	U
See cheerfulness undamped by stealing Time	E
See studied kindness flow with easy stream	I2
Illustrated with inborn courtesy	I
And an habitual disregard of self	J
Balanced by vigilance for others' weal	E2
	-
And shall the Verse not tell of lighter gifts	U
With these ennobling attributes conjoined	W
And blended in peculiar harmony	I
By Youth's surviving spirit What agile grace	U
A nymph like liberty in nymph like form	J2
Beheld with wonder whether floor or path	I
Thou tread or sweep borne on the managed steed	W
Fleet as the shadows over down or field	W
Driven by strong winds at play among the clouds	U
	-
Yet one word more one farewell word a wish	K2
Which came but it has passed into a prayer	L2
That as thy sun in brightness is declining	M2
So at an hour yet distant for 'their' sakes	U
Whose tender love here faltering on the way	I
Of a diviner love will be forgiven	M
So may it set in peace to rise again	N2
For everlasting glory won by faith	I
