IMPROMPTU.
TO CHARLOTTE CUSHMAN,
With a bunch of Wild Flowers, gathered on Shakspere's Cliff, Dover.
WHERE is the one so fit to claim
The wildlings nourished on the sod
That rises, great with Shakspere's name,
An altar dear to man and GOD?
To whom around me could I give
The tiny blossoms offered now,
Save her who helps that name to live,
And twines fresh laurels for his brow?
