Relationships
To Mrs. Butts
From Poems, ed. Alice Meynell (1911)
Relationships
Wife of the friend of those I most revere,
Receive this tribute from a heart sincere;
Go on in virtuous seed-sowing on mould
Of human vegetation, and behold
Your harvest springing to eternal life,
Parent of youthful minds, and happy wife.
