First Line: AS THE POOREST MAY BORROW SOME TREASURE Last Line: MAY ENNOBLE MY WORDS UNAWARE. Subject(s): FATHERS; MEMORY; PRAYER;
As the poorest may borrow some treasure To adorn what is meagre or bare, So a memory loved beyond measure I lay on my book, with the prayer, Its dear presence all fault may efface, And a lingering touch of its grace May ennoble my words unaware.
