IMPROMPTU.
TO CHARLOTTE CUSHMAN
With a bunch of Wild Flowers, gathered on Shakespere's [sic] Cliff, Dover.
WHERE is the one so fit to claim
The wildlings nourished on the sod
That rises, great with Shakspere's [sic] name,
An altar dear to man and GOD?
To whom around me could I give
The tiny blossoms offered now,
Save her who helps that name to live,
And twines fresh laurels for his brow?
