LINES IN AN AUTOGRAPH ALBUM, by                    
First Line: Fairy voices, whisper to me
Last Line: Drop your veil of charity.
Subject(s): Autographs; Friendship; Poetry & Poets


Fairy voices, whisper to me,
Whisper softly in mine ear;
Tell me something sweet, you darlings,
While I pause with pencil here;
Come to me from realms of sunshine,
Creep into my waiting mind
With the words of love and friendship
That I strive, in vain, to find.

In this little album's contents,
Thoughts there are both good and true,
Thoughts whose tender, loving pathos
Were inspired, I know, by you;
And I fain would leave like tracings,
For this friend, who would retain
In among their silent whisp'rings,
Gleams of me and of my name.

Loving thoughts I have full many,
And I would that you could tell
Thoughts as beautiful and noble,
In some weird and magic spell;
Beauteous accents call to me;
What! not coming? then, sweet fairies.
Drop your veil of charity.
