TO me thou wert faithful and steady, And madest for me supplication; In my troubles and sad tribulation Thy comfort always was ready. Food and drink thou gav'st me in payment, And plenty of money didst lend me, And also a passport didst send me, As well as some changes of raiment. From heat and from coldness unpleasant May heaven, my dear one, long guard thee, And may it never reward thee The kindness shown me at present! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NEW NEIGHBORHOOD by KAREN SWENSON OUTWARD BOUND by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH EPIGRAM ON MY WEDDING DAY: TO PENELOPE by GEORGE GORDON BYRON BARBARA FRIETCHIE [SEPTEMBER 13, 1862] by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, BY OUR OWN TOM DALY by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS OF THE REED THAT THE JEWS SET IN OUR SAVIOUR'S HAND by WILLIAM ALABASTER |
