TO JOHN WADDON MARTYN by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: AS ONE WHO ON THE IDLE SHORE
Last Line: I SEND YOU THESE REMEMBERING THOSE.
(WITH A COPY OF 'SIDE-WALK STUDIES')

AS one who on the idle shore
Bends at the Galley bench no more,
I look back to the days when we
Tugged the long sweeps in company.
Yet there were moments even then
When there was thought of Books and Men,
When there was talk of Verse and Prose --
I send you these remembering those.
