Excerpt from Firdausi in Exile: And Other Poems
Dedication to Austin Dobson.
Neighbour of the near domain,
Stay awhile your passing wain!
Though to give is more your way,
Take a gift from me to-day!
From my homely store I bring
Signs of my poor husbanding; -
Here a spike of purple phlox,
Here a spicy bunch of stocks,
Mushrooms from my moister fields,
Apples that my orchard yields, -
Nothing, for the show they make,
Something, - for the donor"s sake;
Since for ten years we have been
Best of neighbours ever seen;
