"To Charlotte Cushman"
Where is the one so fit to claim
the wildlings nourished on the sod
that rises, great with Shakespeares [sic] name
an altar dear to man & God
To whom around one could I give
the tiny blossoms offered now
Save her who helps that name to live
and twines fresh laurels for his brow?
Long shall I note the pleasant hours
when fancy wandered, fond & free
and dreaming over these poor flowers
breathed forth a gentle prayer for thee
