LINES WRITTEN ON A BLANK LEAF IN A COPY OF THE AUTHOR'S, by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: To public notice, with reluctance strong
Last Line: Which good men take with them from earth to heaven.
First Line: To public notice, with reluctance strong
Last Line: Which good men take with them from earth to heaven.
TO public notice, with reluctance strong,
Did I deliver this unfinished Song;
Yet for one happy issue; -- and I look
With self-congratulation on the Book
Which pious, learned, MURFITT saw and read; --
Upon my thoughts his saintly Spirit fed;
He conned the new-born Lay with grateful heart --
Foreboding not how soon he must depart;
Unweeting that to him the joy was given
Which good men take with them from earth to heaven.
