TO HENRY CRABB ROBINSON by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

Poet Analysis

First Line: COMPANION! BY WHOSE BUOYANT SPIRIT CHEERED
Last Line: FAR MORE THAN ANY HEART BUT MINE CAN KNOW.
Subject(s): ROBINSON, HENRY CRABB (1775-1867);
COMPANION! by whose buoyant Spirit cheered,
In whose experience trusting, day by day
Treasures I gained with zeal that neither feared
The toils nor felt the crosses of the way,
These records take, and happy should I be
Were but the Gift a meet Return to thee
For kindnesses that never ceased to flow,
And prompt self-sacrifice to which I owe
Far more than any heart but mine can know.
