"So what she saw and felt the poet sang—
She did not seek the world should know her share;
Her one great hunger was for 'William's' fame,
To give his thoughts a voice her life-long prayer.
"And when with wife and child his days were crowned
She did not feel that she was left alone,
Glad in their joy, she shared their every care,
And only thought of baby as 'our own.'
"His 'dear, dear sister,' that was all she asked,
Her gentle ministry, her only fame;
