TO

GEORGE MADDEN MARTIN

Who found me young; full ignorant of the trade

To which my soul aspired. So it was she made,

With friendly kindness of a generous heart,

Some of her busy hours to know still worthier aim;

Seeing that I learned a trifle of the writing game.

And in what I've written, she has had her part.
