DEDICATION TO J.C. AND CAROLINE WOODHILL, by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN Poet's Biography First Line: Ye who received me, when your hearts were sore Last Line: To you I dedicate the opening flowers. | ||||||||
YE who received me, when your hearts were sore, With double welcome, since I came in lieu Of one whose fond embrace I never knew -- Your child, my mother, dear for evermore -- Who scarce had time to greet the babe she bore, But, dying in her spring, bequeathed to you, Her father and her mother, guardians true, One little life, to tend when hers was o'er: Ye who have watched me from my infant days With tenderest love and care, who treasure yet Quaint sayings, sketches rude, and childish lays; Accept this wreath, entwined in April hours: Yours was the garden where the seed was set, To you I dedicate the opening flowers. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MODERN APOSTLE by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN BOOKS by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN CHANGED by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN CHRIST, THE NAZARENE by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN DAY-DREAMS by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN EVOLUTIONARY EROTICS: NATURAL SELECTION by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN EVOLUTIONARY EROTICS: SCIENTIFIC WOOING by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN EVOLUTIONARY EROTICS: SOLOMON REDIVIVUS, 1886 by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN EVOLUTIONARY EROTICS: THE NEW ORTHODOXY by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN FRIENDSHIP by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN JANUARY 28TH, 1880 by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN LAMENT OF THE CORK-CELL by CONSTANCE CAROLINE WOODHILL NADEN |
