“PLEASURES OF MEMORY”
THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED
Journeys are memoried in light or shade;
This one in sunlight, when, by chance,
Strangers to most, all ages and all whims,
We for a fortnight sojourned far from home;
A memory, where the heart and eye
Replete, lie still and dream again.
God gave the view—a human heart the feast.
What star of fortune brought our lives
In happy contact? Here we trace
The secret of our rare content—
The outline of each happy day.
