| THOU whom these eyes saw never, say friends true, | |
| Who say my soul, help’d onward by my song, | |
| Though all unwittingly, has help’d thee too? | |
| I gave but of the little that I knew: | |
| How were the gift requited, while along | 5 |
| Life’s path I pace, couldst thou make weakness strong, | |
| Help me with knowledge—for Life’s old. | |
| Death’s new! | |
